What my little 6 year old did, all by herself!

I did glue on the button, but she did it all! Nice job!

Buttons with memories...




The buttons are some that my mother-in-law had, and they reminded her of her mom. These were gifts to her from me. I think they turned out rather cute!

I love this fabric...


a couple of attempts in making a vintage flower I saw in a store...



Hopefully I will be able to get this down better, but at least I'll be able to compare the beginning attempts to ones that I will really like. Here's to trying!





One of my favorite, I love pink!


bright flower with vintage button(button from great-grandma's time)


earrings with matching hair clip/brooch



I've figured out to add a clip-on finding to make this a brooch, and also add an alligator clip, to use in hair or to clip on clothes. Thanks to my mother-in-law, we figured out a good system too. The pic above is just of the alligator clip.

flowers...curtains...

Here are more flowers we've done in the past month or so, I am just getting around to posting them. We've made quite a few for gifts too, but I didn't take pic's. I just ordered and received my first wholesaler order of art gallery fabrics, which are adorable(remember I have four girls!). Also, Amy Butler fabric, one of my favorite designers! Let me know if you like/think it's crazy about the curtains in the piano room. The two fabrics are, dream poppies in forest from the August fields collection, and the bottom material is the bright buds moss, both by Amy Butler. Hopefully adds a little modvint look I'm going for? I'm branching out from my solid/safe colors that I've used mostly in decorating, and adding a bit more color and fun!
