more flowers

I'm still on my fabric flower obsession. This time I've added them to some flip flops for my sisters and to a dress to fancy it up a little.

Cowgirl Carnival

I've posted pictures of the party I helped my sister do for my niece on my party blog here if you'd like to see more. It was so fun to do with my sister.

A little back to school something

During my perusing blogs over the summer I came across some really cute teacher gifts. This one I saw and wanted to do for the boys first day back to school. It was really easy and fun to put together. You could really use this for so many different things.

I found the take out boxes at Michaels for about a $1

I could have sworn that I'd seen fortune cookies at the grocery store with the other Asian products but no such luck. I ended up going to our local Chinese take out place, and just FYI, about a dozen fit in the box.

I think they turned out pretty cute.

Flower Headbands

I've been a bit obsessive as of late. I'm in LOVE with fabric flowers. I have looked up tutes on how to make like 5 different kinds. These are some of the ones I've completed. I'm also working on some to put on flip flops and a couple to go on clips.

This one in MINE!
It's a satin flower with beads as the center. (thanks Kate for the beads)

This one is Hollands to wear for our pictures I'm doing.
It's a tattered fabric flower

This is the first one that I did, I think I'd wear it with a white T-shirt and jeans.
It's two different kinds of flowers, the ones on the ends are rolled fabric flowers and the one in the middle is a ribbon flower.

This is Ellie's to wear for our pictures
They are all rolled fabric flowers.

All the tutes I've used are posted on my side bar if you'd like to give them a try yourself.
