New Front Door Decoration

I have to begin with an apology about my horrible pictures. My husband bought me a really nice nikon camera for Christmas one year and I have never been able to get the thing to take really great pictures unless we are outside. The flash washes things out so bad.....

And if I dont use the flash...

UGH

I hate it when things don't work right. Especially when those precious moments are only for a second and you need that first shot to capture the moment immediately!


So I have some really terrible pictures but maybe you can get the idea of what I was going for.

I wanted to change my front door wreath to something that matches the flowers I have planted in pots. My spring wreath just wasnt cutting it!

Ok so you cant hardly even see it in this picture.... but it is a yellow and pink wreath.
I didnt have any flowers and really didnt want to spend any money on it.  So of course the ideas started flowing as I was trying to fall asleep last night. I was getting so excitied I almost jumped out of bed and started working! I made myself wait and when bub took his morning nap I cranked it out.  I decided to use fabric that I had laying around that wasn't doing anyone any good. 

I started with a pretty plaid that was given to me by my mother in law....thanks Me-maw!  I cut out a whole stack of large circles.

I then picked one circle up in the middle and used a needle and thread to sew along the bottom of the cone shape I had.

I attached more and more cones together and came out with a great flower! I used some smaller circles in the middle to give it some dimension. 

I did the same for the red flower as well.  For the white flower, I used a long strip of white fabric sewn in half.  I just wound the strip onto itself around and around and kept tacking it down with my needle and thread as I went.  As I came to the outer edges I made the wind looser and looser.


Then I cut a wide strip of fabric and tied a Martha Stewart bow to top the whole thing off.  By Martha Stewart bow I mean her style.  She taught me how to take two loops of the bow and tie them together and it makes a perfect bow every time!  Not like the old way of tying your shoelaces which makes a sideways bow usually.  

 Looks so much better! I plan on taking my camera in today and finding out how to use the darn thing!

Here is another curtain!

This is a curtain that I custom made for a client.  She loved my hot pink curtains but the colors just wouldn't work for her nursery. She needed some lighter tones, so she sent me fabric that matched her room, and I made her beautiful curtains! These curtains were made to her specifications both width and length.

They are too long for my windows so they hang on the floor in my house but they look great in her home!
