a little gift idea

sorry for the lack of posts

we've been enjoying our summer

and visiting the beautiful city of columbus, OH

have you ever been there?

it was our first time

and i liked it.

but i did happen to come up with a little gift idea

in the midst of playing outside

my SIL had a birthday last week and i wanted

to give her a little something for her house

something for the summer

and this is what i came up with

if you've seen my etsy shop

you've also noticed that i like fabric hoops

they are so multi-functional, i love it

so i started with some muslin and secured it

inside of the hoop

then i made a little bundle of fabric flowers

out of my fabric stash

two of them are simple gathered flowers

one has a button and the other has a covered button

and the third flower is a yo-yo

once the flowers were made

i took a needle and thread and secured

them to the muslin

then i did a little simple hand-stitch

of the words "bloom"

any words, or flowers would be darling

and who doesn't love a little handmade gift!

have a happy week
