Seriously? the last time I posted was OCTObER. That is pretty sad. What is even worse is I really havent done much worthy of a post. Made some kid crafts here and there, some bags like the ones you normally see, and then a few for christmas that was fun.
But honestly, being only 19 weeks now, I feel like I have been 9 months the whole time. Getting my home and kids as they should be is big enough challenge let alone trying to throw in extra projects for myself. Makes me tired just thinking about it.
So i'm sorry I've been lame...mostly for my friends. They are the ones who get the cute presents for birthday and just plain being there. I love my friends...
So for MY birthday I got cute flowers from Amy. I couldn't help but show you...scroll down, she make me the blue and white stripe and tan with black stripe. So cute and they go with everything.
And since Flowers are ALL the rage I wanted to make some for my relatives. Sisters, mothers grandmas etc. I only wanted to share a few details on how me and a friend figured out how to make them. We combined a few of the popular tutorials out there and some of our own taste and feel they are so much easier this way ;)
We used these two tutorials. I know Amy (blue and tan flower) used the first tutorial....
which I liked. We cut 5x5 squares, but in the end thought they were on the big side. So in the end we did 4x4 sqares and they are beautiful.
However, this lady sews EACH and EVERY little flower. and when you are doing 6plus little flowers to make 1 large flower, thats a lot of sewing. especially when your making 12 flowers.
So we used this ladies technique of HOT GLUEING the little flowers. love it.
With each flower I would put about 6-7 of the petal things...
we used some linens we thought were cool. But if you are worried about them fraying (linens do fray) then make sure you take that into consideration.
Birthday presents to me, from Amy.
not taking credit for these cute things!! But I want to show you more ideas.
My sis Aub made this one for me:) cute, totally different style.
