A Little Crafting

One Sunday after church the weather was fantastic.  It was the first day that you could feel fall in the air.   I knew that it was time for a little outdoor craft time.  I started these happy little flowers.  



 

Megan and I made our area look pretty by adding a table cloth and then bringing out our craft things.

Megan was delighted to create with all of the scraps.

To make these I used the inexpensive sheets of felt you can get at the craft store.  I used a lid from a yogurt container for the flower middle.

I cut two circles at the same time so that the front and back of the flower would match. 

For the flower petals I cut a piece into 1/2 inch pieces.

I then glued the pieces to make a loop.

The flower "petals" were then glued to one of the circles.

The top was put on then pinned together. 

I didn't make anymore progress that afternoon, but I can tell you that the afternoon was priceless!  Taking the time to share something I love with my Megan was great.  She had a blast!  It is in moments like this that she shares her hearts desire and we make precious memories. 

In my spare time I stitched and stuffed these.  I used embroidery floss and handstitched to make thm look rustic.  I collected sticks that were inserted and hot glued for the stem. 

At the moment they are in jars in this tote.  I think it is a little crowded so I will probably pull out a few to spread around as I decorate for fall this week. 

May your day be filled with joy and contentment.
