Flowers and Cake

I was just looking through some pictures trying to get together some flower pictures to show a potential client tonight. I ran into some I had forgotten about, some of my favorites and Megan's wedding cake which I had completely forgotten about. I LOVE her cake! Didn't know how much I liked it until I saw the picture again. Anyway, here is a picture of Megan's cake and some flowers I have done.

Newest Projects

This week while Amy was in town we did a few projects. We used the Silhouette Machine a lot. We made these cute candy filled carrots with it:We also made these crown cupcake holders:
Amy bought this magnet board at Ikea for her sewing room and added some vinyl to it:

Another project we did while Amy was here was felt flowers for the girls.

Tutus and headband

Lexi had a little dance performance in the beginning of December and their outfits were red and white tutu's. I had some extra stuff from making her tutu, so made one for her teddy bear and one of her dolls. I also made her a new flower headband.

She loved the tutus and headband and she looked so cute while she danced!

Fall Flower Arrangement

This is my first real attempt at a flower arrangement. I needed something to go on top of my cupboards in the kitchen for fall. I made three of them, so I hope they are not terrible.

Flower Headbands

Here are the flowers I made. I put them on headbands for something different. I'm really excited about the way they turned out.
This is the one I made for me:

Wedding Flowers

My dried wedding bouquet has been sitting around for years. I finally came up with something to do with it. Now I just have to decide where to put it.

Family Picture Accesories

We are having family pictures done on Saturday with Kyle's family. We have a great photographer coming, you should check her out at http://meghallphotography.blogspot.com. ; ) Anyway, the girls are wearing white shirts. I only have plain white t-shirts without any cute embellishments or anything. I decided instead of finding a new shirt which maybe wouldn't fit me too much longer, I would just do a fun necklace. I am also planning on doing a headband of some sort but haven't gotten there yet. Here are the pictures of my necklace and the necklace and bracelet I did for the girls.

Here is mine:


Closer up of the beads and flower:I have this problem where I am terrified (or something like that) of making very specific colored jewelry. I love wearing it, but hate making it. I feel like I won't wear it enough to spend time making it. Weird, I know. Because of this phobia, the flower on this necklace is actually on a pin and can be removed to place other embellishments in its place. What do you think?

Here is what I did for both of my girls:


I have the headbands for the girls almost done, but haven't started mine yet. I will try to do that and post it soon!

Crochet Flower Headbands

I have been playing around with crochet flowers out of the new pattern book I got. I had seen on a couple of blogs the crochet flowers put on headbands and had been planning on trying to do that. I wanted to do a crochet headband though, not a metal or plastic one since those don't seem to have a good life span while on the girls. Thanks to Erin for suggesting I do some, it reminded me to actually get them done! Here is what I came up with so far:



I have more ideas and, I've already made one of the thick headbands that are usually knit and selling like crazy all over but haven't put a flower on it yet. I'll post those soon!

Fabric Flowers

We saw some flowers at the quilt show the other day and really liked them, so today Meg and I tried them out. They were very simple to make, and they turned out really cute!
