I was walking downtown on trip #1 and it struck me while looking in a store full of odds and ends that we could make lapel pins for the baby shower craft that i was forced to come up with. The perfect thing about this perfect craft is that there's no mess. You just cut pieces from a pattern that you make, sew it together and you're done. The felt is CHEAP. And all in all it was about $40 (for buttons,needles, hoighty sewing thread, and the felt) which should make enough flowers to be about $2 per person. Plus felt was IN in the 40's and 50's. And our shower just happens to be themed in that light- so imagine the inspiration struck and i felt i'd hit internal gold. Good thing i have a mom who likes to make things. She not only made the patterns, but made the samples. And I only looked vaguely sad, and sighed once about the work I had to do and it wasn't but 1second later she was digging into the bag to see what she could do. MOM ROCKS!

Beautiful!
Ah,shucks. =) Thank you M.
I bet we could do duckies too.
I canNOT believe that DIY show fired you long ago. You guys are so rad.
P.S. I'm currently using my brown canvas bag as my everyday purse. It's so lovely and autumnal.
I trust you will dump all the contents of said bag before the next book sale.
I plan on it!
