Last summer I had decided to try to make those darling flower pins I had been seeing in boutiques and on blogs. I love them! They were popular in the 80's. I remember having a big red one I wore with a navy blue dress that I loved. I bought the pins, bunches of fabrics, and set out to make some. But then never got them done, the holidays rolled around, and I was busy with other things. Well this sweet "Angel" over at
TaDa! Creations recently posted her friends Tute on them. So, I marched straight to my sewing room, and began to create. I free handed my pattern, and made the first one rather large.
I made the second one a wee smaller. Shown here with another whirly twirly scarf I made in a soft chunky yarn. Doesn't this color look great on that eggplant shade cardi?
I love the way it punches up a simple V neck sweater! You could put them on anything. Purses, scarves, t shirts. BABIES...oh just wait, I have some great ideas for the little ones! Lord knows I have a couple of willing models!!!
Don't look at my staging closet. That is my son's old room, and I use that closet to store all of my "stuff" that I am not using for decorating and setting tables and such.
Off to the market. Having good friends Maryrose and Kevin for "someone's" (
Maryrose) birthday/New Year's celebration.

The flowers are adorable! Ok, I've copied and pasted your email address and it didn't go through. I've attempted to email you through your "email me" link on your blog profile page and they are not going through. Maybe I'm spam. It would be under roo925@cox.net. Try emailing me directly with your address.
