Some new brooches for my shop

Hi!  

Here some new  items for Pick me a Rose

Fabric Flower Ceramic Mini Vases

HI!

I finished these easy little vases for my shop and craft fair and love the way they turned out.

 

Cheap ceramic vases from dollar store, painted and distressed slightly

Some lace

 

These handmade tags were made with customs stamp with my logo from Etsy and a paper punch. I like them:)

Making Fabric Rosettes, the Lazy Way

Almost every night I stay for hours in my craft room making items for my shop/fairs while hubby and Sofia are in bed in quite and peaceful slumber.

Sometimes, at the end of my "shift", I  still want to go on making my rosettes, but the whole process can take time, roll, thread, sew, thread needle again, etc etc etc, and I am usually pretty tired around 1:30 am.

The other day I strated doing this to save me time, at least at night, when I would be too tired to make anything, but with this method I can go halfway and finish them off next day.

I simply roll the rosettes, do not sew but keep it together with pins

Next day, more rested, I finish them off, and it has worked for me, being more productive. It works for me:)

Mason Jar and Flower Rosette Pin Cushion

Hi!

Many of you know I  am a sucker for  mason jars ....and know that  love 

pin cushions  and many of you  also know that I looooove making fabric flowers.....

So, put  them all in a pot and something like this appears:

My very cute and sweet  distressed mason jar fabric rosette pincushion!! yay! yipiee!Do you notice how much I enoyed crafting this??

To make one yourself all you need:

A small  mason jar like this one, spray paint, strip of fabric, hot glue gun and half a small foam ball. 

Once more, in my anxiety to have this done, I did it at night in my basement and took no photos.

Anyways, the easy and straight forward process is in here. 

I picked this colours as they go with  my craft room perfectly

Then, I made a big rosette, big enough to cover the foam ball (half cut) and the jar lid. The pins here are just the way I roll my rosettes sometimes. I will  post about this way way to roll them soon!!

I glued the ball to the lid

Attached the rosette  to the ball

Ohhhhhh, sweet!

Somehow it makes me giggly...

I will craft many more to put in my shop and flood the craft fairs this summer with them!

A Flower for Peggy

Hi!

This is a little something that I promised some time ago  to Peggy (I did not forget it, Peggy!), from The Painted Pear, and, shame on me, only had it finished this week.

But I did it!

 I think Peggy is like me, just like big brooches, so I made this one specially for her.

Hope you like it,  Peggy! 

Sending it your way this week!
