Fabric Flower (obsession)

JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE FABRIC FLOWER PINS!

 

IT IS JUST A FRACTION OF WHAT I'VE MADE.

  I AM GUESSING THE TOTAL TO BE ABOUT 50!

 

WE MADE THEM IN THE CHURCH MOPS GROUP TOO.

WHAT EXTRA KITS WE HAD LEFT, I MADE UP

FOR A LITTLE FUNDRAISER BASKET!

 

MY NIECE IS THE PERFECT MODEL FOR THIS CRAFT:

HOW CUTE IS SHE...WITH HER NEW BABY SISTER?

 

SHE IS *ROCKIN* THAT FLOWER!

 

 

FOR A TUTORIAL ON THESE CUTE

BLOOMS, VISIT PINTEREST!

 

THEY LOOK GREAT WORN WITH A SCARF.

 

ON A BASKET OR PURSE, GREAT AS A BOW

ON A GIFT, ON A HAT, ON A COAT, OR

WHATEVER YOU CAN DREAM UP!

 

                                             THESE FLOWERS WERE A GREAT WAY

TO USE UP ALL THE VINTAGE BUTTONS

I'VE BEEN HOARDING FOR A FEW YEARS!

Dry Hydrangea

I simply love hydrangeas!

They're the flowers that

 just

 keep
 

on

 giving

even after they're

fresh cut & enjoyed for a spell.

 

This dry bouquet is from LAST year.

 

 

I have five more bundles drying
 in my messy shed.

 

My greenhouse job involves trimming shrubs

for various businesses & civilians.

All those blooms were "rescued" from the

trash pile trailer.  I don't have the heart

to just let them go, can you blame me???

 

 

I use old jars found in the woods for vases.

Old hymn pages gave this brown

one some vintage appeal! 

Lace & keys add small details too.

 

I have some brown blooms on my own plants,

that are past prime.  They'll be getting a spray

paint revival & added to some evergreen

for a festive Christmas arrangement.

(expect a post here on that!)

Dad Display

Just wanted to share a little snippet from my house.

I did a little rearranging recently &

am proud of my dad's display.

He's been gone for 13 years now,

but having this in my living area

keeps him fresh in my mind!

 



Creepy Junk

Halloween will be here & no time.

Here are a few spooky creations using junk:

 

 

This is an old Crisco bottle.

I used some adhesive vinyl

& cut the shapes out on my Cricut.

I thought the trivet and spoon were

a wicked way to display it!

 

 

Next I'm sharing a deadly vignette!

 

The "blood" is alcohol ink.

The rest of it seemed like odd, spooky items.
