seriously

I may need mental help soon! I just can't stop myself.
Oh, how am I going to sleep tonight? I just want to make more and more and more and more...

So on my search I found these made into necklaces with simple ribbon that you just tie around your neck. Oh my gosh I can do that! And these types of flowers were made with fabric wider then 1". I just eye balled it and cut the fabric to something thicker and didn't twist as tight.

I think I love it!

I am team leader for the second grade team...I am thinking all the second grade teachers (thankfully they are all female) may have one before long. I hope they love it as much as I do. Such endless possibilities...pin...headband...necklace. Wonder what each would like?

Speaking of school I made myself a name banner. I started yesterday and finished it up today. It was so simple and really didn't take me 2 days to complete I just procrastinated the simple sewing part that I wanted to do. Maybe that will be tomorrow's post...

Tomorrow is exactly 2 weeks before I start back to teaching. What will I do when I won't have time for all my craftiness??? Maybe I will teach my students to make twisted fabric flowers...hmmm...how can I tie that into reading and writing?

Sure I can figure something out! :0}

addicted

I really do think this is going to be my new addiction. {YIKES!}
I wonder how many of these I will make???

I do have plans to buy some fabric in off white and make many of these for a necklace.
Just got to figure out what I am going to use for the necklace part.
Hmmm...maybe I can find some inspiration out there on the net.
Off to search.

fabric flower

I have been...

...reading blogs and I keep seeing all these beautiful fabric flowers.
(on clothing, on headbands, on barattes, just wherever)

...reading tutorials on how to make different fabric flowers.

...failing at my attempts with making flowers that I want to love.

...sharing some OK looking flowers that I have attempted with my friend.

...reading more tutorials.

....scanning the Internet for how to make fabric flowers.

Well tonight I saw a twisted fabric flower that I loved on a blog.

(Just didn't have long enough fabric so I put 2 different designs together.)

Stumbled upon how to make a twisted flower that made sense to me and VIOLA!!!
