Hanky t-shirt

I found this idea in my "Country Living" magazine so I sent away to

get some vintage hankies. Etsy is such a great source for supplies.

When I got my confirmation.....uh the seller told me it would take awhile

to get to me...since it was coming from

CHINA...

Yup, it was nearly 3 weeks of travel to make it my house.

And another 3 or 4 weeks until I could get to it....

anyway, it was super easy and fun to wear.

Between Dentist vists......

Can't seem to get flowers outta my head....here are a couple of new things that I've been working on....

fun little flowers on my bracelet...also saw these shoes at on Dillards site.... Such a fun, springy trend...for us flower lovers.

I also had a convo (that's etsy talk for conversation) with a new friend in Georgia, that bought one of my little red-haired girl prints and wanted another one with her own little dog included.

It has been really fun to do....

now onto the painting part. (Stupid dentist....)

CUTENESS

Here is a cute idea I came across while glogging at blogs....

Pretty simple and cute and makes me rethink ANY

little scraps of fabric I might think of tossing!!!

So here is my first tutorial....how to make these cute-easy, flowers.

Get out your scraps of cotton, silk or cotton poly prints.

and then tear them into 1 1/2" to 1 inch strips of varying lengths.

Cut out a few circles of your spare felt, in a neutral color. Do several different sizes no larger than 1 1/2" in diameter.

Heat up the ole glue gun and then take your first strip and tie a knot in the end. No fancy smancy...just a good old knot.

Pull it to the end of the strip and then glue it in the center of the felt circle. Smash it down. This is the center of the flower.

Now just roll the fabric into a tube and twist it as you glue around the center...

Continue this process, twisting and glueing all the way around trying to get the right side of the fabric to show.

When you have filled the whole felt, clip off the end and glue the tail behind on the back.

Aren't they just cute? I then just grabbed a spare dollar store headband and hot glued them right on molding them just a bit to curve over the band so they don't stick up.

Then I found my cutest girl to model them for me....cute huh???

Pictahs...

Here is Debra's pretty pink one and I decided I would do one in blue....
