Planning a family birthday party. ???????????? It will be slime themed, play-in-the-lake kind of party for my 8-year-old with another family or two at a picnic area at our gorgeous local lake in the mountains, Vallecito. I want breakfast to be special too. Fruit salad and pastry is my birthday boy’s favorite breakfast. And I am definitely hanging these up the night before! My Summer Party Garland and Presto Placemats, link to crochet patterns in my bio. The Presto Placemats pattern is free in @ilikecrochet magazine’s June 2019 issue: https://www.ilikecrochet.com/magazine/crochet-home-decor/presto-placemats/. #kidsbirthdaydecor #reuse #cottonyarn #lilysugarncream #yarnspirations #crochet #crochetinspiration #vegancrochet #reusable #crochetpattern #freecrochetpattern #crochetplacemat #crochetgarland #fiestacrochet #garland #rainbowyarn #ravelry #ravelrypattern #tejido #bohocrochet #bohohome
