More Roses

I have loved making  crepe paper roses for friends but wanted to make some things for my house. So I used cotton for a vintage look.  I first took the cotton sheet and dipped it in coffee to stain it.  I then cut out all of my petals and pulled the thread for a worn look.  I just can't stop making these...I love them.  I am doing this in between working on my girls' bday parties so it has been a nice distraction. 

 

I am using these as tie backs in my bedroom.

 

Here are some on a little pillow in my room.  And yes those are my children's stuffed toys.  I secretly take their bears sometimes and put them in here.

 

I made a large on and put it in my dining room.

 

Here are some on the little pillow on my favorite settee!

 

Last but not least I put some on pins and added them to my tank top!  Yes, I am obsessed but love every minute of making them!

Whimsical Rose Corsage

Little pretties...bright colors...whimsical bees...added with a party...what more could you want?

These little corages I made with crepe paper were so much fun.  I was so excited to be able to contribute something special for my friend's daughter's graduation party.  I made one for the graduate, the momma and the grandmother.  Here they are.  Pretty soon I will be posting a tutorial on how to make these little pretties.

Here is my sweet friend Jill.  She is wearing the corsage on her wrist.  It can also be worn as a pin!

More sassy flowers:

This corsage has a little birdy peeing out over the flowers!

 Fresh from the Hinojosa bakery! 

Tutorial coming soon!

Mother's Day Gifts

 I love to give a little something to not only my mom and my mother n law, but for any great mom.  This is such a wonderful day to recongnize all the love and support a mother gives for their children.  Here are some little goodies I made for friends and family:

 

I placed a little posie I made out of crepe paper and a butterfly that I added glass glitter to on a clip in a pink bakery box from bakeitpretty.com.

 

I added a quote for mothers on a tag:

I love making the packaging just as special as the little sussie inside.

 These little posies have around 4-5 flowers and can be placed in a small vase.  I have one on my bedside table and on my table in my craft room.  They are small and dainty but add a nice feminine touch in any area.

 

I glass glittered the edges of the tag for a special look:

 

I'm giving these to some special women to wear on Mother's Day.  After their day they can continue to wear them or add to anything that needs a little girliness.  Cute as napkin clips, gift tags,you could even add these to shoes(just don't get stepped on!)

 

 

 

 

How cute is this?  Just one way to wear the flower!

My daughter loved this flower so we put it in her hair!  Cute for a party!(Can you tell she's about to loose her front tooth!)
