Yes you see the fruit of my latest obsession.
Wild roses, cottage roses, and french knots!
Okay in all honesty it is nothing new. I have loved wild roses and old fashioned cottage roses for almost as long as I can remember and french knots were one of the first embroidery stitches I learned as a child. And to be able to craft them and see them lying about when they are out of season, well lets just say it makes me VERY happy. The one thing I almost forgot to mention is the fact that this fabulous little rose is made from none other then... a polyester shirt I found at a yard sale for... $.25, yes 25 cents! Not only did I save a dated blouse from the landfill but it was quite the savings as well. I love a bargain!

ReplyDeleteThank you so very much, Melonie!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! And I never could get a french knot. :( They're always small.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Fabric flowers are a current obsession of mine too! I wish I'd gone to yard sales!
ReplyDeleteAwsome idea! I love re-making things from yard sale or thrift finds ;)

I had to go back twice to look at the pictures. Unbeleivable. It truly looks real.
