An Afternoon Flower

I was feeling bored and twitchy and not really loving the fact that I have five loads of laundry to deal with. Oh those piles of clean clothes were just begging to be ignored!

So I did what my laundry wanted me to do...leave it be and find something fun and crafty to do! After using portions of this tutorial to make my burlap flowers for my wreath, I have been totally intrigued by fabric flowers (here are nice lists!). Fabric flowers just seem so happy and add a little bit of brightness to a shirt, a cardigan, a purse, or scarf.

After looking around, I decided on this easy-peasy tutorial, and in 10 minutes, I had a lovely little flower to pin to my sweater!



Thanks laundry for begging to be ignored and giving me such a lovely creative afternoon!

I wish my laundry would hang out with your laundry.
