Cute & Quick Project

Here is a cute and quick yoyo flower project...

 sew simple, cut out circles, fold in half, srirch a running stitch on the curved side, cinch knot and 

 then start another, and a 3rd and a 4th and a 5th...

 then fussy finger shape into place, knott off.. TaDa!

 I made 2, addedto the back side, a 'pin backing' attached to a small piece of felt and then glued the felt to the backside of the  flower..

Now I can change out the flowers on my hat or where ever...

 

Messy Sewing Room = Happy Sewer...

A messy sewing room = a happy sewer/crafter...

 messy messy... fun fun... 'sew' many projects...

 on the plus side, I have enough projects to last me for the next 20 years...

 I actually though about cleaning up and organizing my room, but who am I kidding,,, I'll just make another mess... lol!

 I finished up 2 of these, the 1st one I just mailed off as a gift.

I also finished up this cute quilted trailer banner...

Gotta love a messy room... lol!

Look What I Found and Made...

Look what I found while searching through my fabric stash...

 I had bought this apron fabric panel 4, 5 or 6  years ago,, not sure why or where...

 I love the cute daisy print complimented with the fun dots...

 It took about 45 minutes to cut, stitch and iron it... Love quickie projects...

Then I saw a cute idea on "Pintrest" for a yoyo flower,,, and , well I just had to make one,,, so  I did!

I folded a fabric circle in half, stitched along the curved side and then make 4 more.., which I stitched together and then stitched a a button to the center..

Super cute and easy.

I luv days like this when I have no plans and have fun puttering...

And then some Pink...

I have a 'Flowering Qunice' tree,,, or so, that is what I have been told...

Not only is it a profusion of pink blossoms,,, but it smells heavenly too...

The Bees and Bumbly bees love it!

 Not sure how old this tree is,,, our house was built 35 years ago,, so I can only guess...  

 the flowers are so pretty and delicate looking...

 and the Bees are busy buzzing around all the blossoms...

 can you spot the fat bumbly?

 I am so amazed how wonderful these little blooms smell... sort of like a lemon-lilac blend.

and oh the flowers themselves are sooo sweet... I am tempted to cut a small branch and place in a vase of water,,, to adorn my dining table... but then I would feel selfish taking sweet nectar from my happy Bees...

Hello Green...

Hello Green... lots of rain and more to come,, but slowly we are greening up around here..

 My Lilacs are blooming...

 my Clematis vine are slowly crawling up... 

 my Borge is forgeing ahead,,,

 my Peony plants are puny...

 my Quince is quite prolific...

 and my Cherry trees are cheery as is my graphed apple...

 out front by the Spruce, a lone Tulip popped up.....

and the grass is tall and green much to the joy of Kiki kitty and Ginger the wonder pup...

Now to add some color to all that green...
