Make Spring Flowers with Fabric Scraps

"Spring has sprung! Here in the UK the weather has been really quite lovely and spring flowers are out in full force. Today I’m joining the Spring Flowers Craft Blog Hop with some fellow creative bloggers to bring you a collection of crafts with a spring flowers theme.

I’ve made some pretty fabric flowers in spring colours. These flowers can be made in any colours and with pretty much any fabric so they are a fun way to use small scraps of fabric and buttons. I’ve made 2 different types of flowers, both are really simple and quick. You can use them for all sorts of thing. I sewed mine to a simple bag made from old tea towels but you could add a safety pin to make a brooch or sew one to a hair clip or hair band. You could even use them as a greeting card topper or sew them to a cushion or pillow cover." Comment from Julie of Sum of Their Stories.com

So many options for these flowers! I have always loved making fabric flowers out of fabric scraps. OMG the crafters who make junk journals would love these for the covers of their journals.

Love this cheery pillow!  You can't tell from the photo that the flowers are dimensional and so pretty.

Flip Flop Fun

Flip flops are one of my favorite things!

Since I live in Florida, if I'm not running around barefooted, 

I'm wearing flip flops or some type of sandals.  It is part of

my lifestyle that is simple and easy.

I've bought the fancy embellished flip flops and have thought it would

be fun to experiment and refashion some of my old flip flops.  

I was so happy to find the following tutorial that gave me

 some basic construction ideas . . . can't wait to pull out 

some of the  old flip flops and give them a new life!

Another idea for those cool fabric flowers

 I'm seeing all over the place!

What an awesome idea!  I'm imagining some denim flip flops

embellished with those zipper flowers that are made from

 recycled jeans . . . using a combination of both tutorials.

I really need to get my crafts room

organized and  ready to use again!

My hands are itching to be creative :)
