Kelly's Bouquet

Check out Kelly's amazing bouquet!



I seriously love her wedding bouquet. It's so fun and whimsical. And the striped ruffle flowers just kill me. They're so adorable.

And the rose boutonnieres? What's cuter than these?

Owl Scarf Part Deux

I worked on Tam's owl scarf last night and I was so happy with it this morning I wanted to share it, even though it isn't done yet. Pardon the camera phone picture. I wanted a photo as I was running out the door and this was all I had time for.



I really like this one! I'm sad to see it go. The color combination she picked out is great. It looks so retro! I might have to consider making one of these for myself one day... I also have an idea for a woven fleece scarf, all sewn together with pretty stitches.

I went to the fabric store yesterday and discovered something incredible: remnant tables. Fleece remnants are $1.99 a yard! They're the perfect sizes for what I need. The lady at the store was so happy to see me cleaning the table off. Now I just have to find a cheap place to get grommets. Those things are kinda expensive but I really like using them. I did find someone on ebay who was selling 500 for $68 but that seems like a little more than I need at this point.

I'm loving working with felt. It's easy and adorable and if I mess up I'm out a whole 20 cents. Miss Violinjello said it best on her blog yesterday:

"As a medium, I adore felt. It's so versatile, kiddy and kitsch, but can be dressed up to look so beautiful too."

So very true.

Trans-Craft-Inental

My eFriend (or iFriend?) from flickr featured my bouquet on her blog. How awesome. She has a great craft blog that everyone should go check out. Super cute stuff over there. She made a really cute felt flower that makes me feel kind of lame.

Felt Flower Crafts

I am addicted to making these little felt flowers that I saw on Princess Lasertron's blog. Making things is like therapy for me. I find it a relaxing and refreshing break from all of the crap I have to do in real life.



They're so cute and fun! On top of being pretty simple to make, they really perk up a room. So far I have a little bouquet in the living room and the office.
