I was on a fast. A deprivation fast. You know the kind of fast where you are not allowed to have something you love?
Oh this was a fast that would not allow me to visit my local thrift stores until I got thru a majority of projects I designed from previous purchases.
The fast lasted 2 weeks and then I cracked, I just had to go and see and buy and I did. So glad I did cause look what I found.
These lovingly made white crocheted flowers for $2.00. There are 3 flowers and three leaves to each part. I already had planned on making a black and white fabric rose wreath and oh I thought wouldn't these look fantastic on the wreath.
I separated the flowers and used only two flowers and 2 leaves for this wreath. As you can see I added some little mini buds with coordinating fabric to the center of the flowers.
Black and white flowers look so good up against a burlap wrapped wreath. Fabric roses are so much fun to make. Do a google search for tutorials on fabric roses if you haven't made these yet.
This wreath was made to hang on a wreath chair which will be an addition to an entry way. Right now the wreath is just sitting in the seat of the chair. Chair is missing it's wreath hook. (I'm working on that)
So glad I gave into my urges to shop and found these so very pretty flowers. It actually made my day.
Previously my creative life was all about the hunt for treasures in the usual places but now I'm more concerned about life and truth and what it all means. I'm a thinker who is putting her voice on print. English grammar is not my strong suit so I'll write like I talk with commas where I'd take a breath and chances are that each paragraph will have some run on sentences just because sometimes I forget to breath. As I ramble on I hope you'll let me know what you think.
