Shamrocks Around.
I made this for St. Patrick’s Day which is a very big deal in Savannah. I am not so sure we’ll be going on out this day, way too much drinking + large crowds freaks me out, but I’ll be sporting it either way.
I made it with two wooden shamrock craft shapes that I painted green and then cut out a green fabric print for the leaves and glued it on. Then, I drilled a small hole in the top of the leaves and glued in a piece of green twine in the top of each. It’s just one continuous piece so I just twist the two shamrock ends around each other to wear around my neck.
The twine I saved from a package that arrived from Japan, it’s great and holds it shape well so it works well with this set up. I hope a little luck comes our way next week after this insane week we’ve had! Thanks for all the kind comments on Chenchay. I think she’s giving us two weak thumbs up, so we’re thrilled.

Oh, I always made sure to stay in on St. Patty’s when I lived in Sav. I did the River Walk thing once and that was enough. Hope you enjoy it whatever you guys do!

Cute. Can you get the shamrock shapes at Hobby Lobby, etc?

Those are darling! I’ve never lived anywhere where St. Patty’s Day was a big deal. Though I did spend it in Atlanta one year, just down the road from you. It was a blast!
I'm curious about your two cents. You smart cookie!
