Flower Love....

I never find it hard to fall in love with flowers....whether fresh or handmade, they bring a smile to me. They can uplift my mood and change my day....Recently I've needed a flower or two.....fresh ones for my kitchen table and handmade ones to brighten an outfit or two.

You may remember me making these flowers here...oh how I loved them.....but this time I needed something brighter and fresh...so I started making these...and couldn't stop...

So bright and fun....lots of layers...at least 10 and with adorable felt leaves...they become so many things...hair clips...pins...clothing accessories...I think I'm going to put one on my bag...Love...Flower Love...I hope to have them in my shop by the end of the week.

I was invited to do a vendor fair this weekend...I would bring these flowers...but I just don't have enough other inventory to go....if I had been more busy around here...working, working, working...I would have...I have some excellent ideas for this particular fair...hopefully they will ask me back next year!!

What have you been doing this summer? Have you been busy?

Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.....

A Cutie Pie, Hair Yo-Yo, Valentine!!

Since it was my turn for homework help at the Church and the Girls have choir first, I grabbed some of my crafting supplies and had some quiet time to make some yo-yos before the Kids came into to work. I had been wanting to make some hair clips for a while now and while sitting here today..trying desperately to focus, only on crafting and not what is going on in my "real" life, I started thinking about Valentines and while looking at the happy finished yo-yos, I thought how fun would it be to give a hair bow as valentine! {of course with my sweet tooth, there always has to be a little sweet treat too!} I decided on these....

A yummy little stick of cinnamon red hots with a tag, attached with a glittered clip..and on the tag...a cutie pie hair yo-yo...how cute is that?! I covered the scary stitching with a cute little felt heart! {Magic!}

I think I'm getting a seasonal cold. I've started sneezing {a thousand times} and my eyes feel tired and watery. I'm sleepy too!! I think I'll go try to be horizontal for a minute or two...maybe I can talk the Girls into snuggle time and really hear about their day!!
Thank you for stopping by, I love that you did!
Hugs,
