DIY Fabric Peonies

I would consider myself a homemaker at heart.  I love having projects involving creativity that will make my home more comfortable and beautiful.  Since Mother's day is coming I thought I would get a head start on some ideas.  I now know what I'm going to create but for fear one of my mother's may read this I'm not going to share. :)  Although, I did make an embellishment as a gift topper I found from one of my favorite blogs.  Check it out here. I spent a total of $1.28 for this goodie and I have enough fabric and string to make 5 to 7 more!

 

You could even put this on a headband, make it a broach, a gift topper, or combine it with others as a centerpiece to liven up a room.  Speaking of needing to bring a room alive.
This is my next project:

It's ok, you can say it.  This is boring.  Everything is hand-me-down (which I love) and the lampstand was a steal at Wisteria because it has no shade and no appliances to connect the shade to it.  Don't even ask me how long it has been like this.  It's embarrassing.  I can't wait to show you the makeover to be done on such a blah space.

Happy Wednesday,
