As most of you know I'm going to become a GranZee in May. I have been busy making a quilt for my soon-to-be granddaughter, Lillian Mae Henry...Lily for short. I had A LOT of fabric scraps left over and wanting to be green (cough cough) I pondered an idea for a use for the scraps. Here's the results...
CUTENESS FOR LILY...
|
Left over scraps cut into strips about 9" long tied on a metal ring to make a rag wreath... |
|
Now, I have always been a ribbon addict...I love the colors, textures, and patterns for ribbons. I picked these up at Hobby Lobby on a 1/2 price ribbon sale in all the colors Rachel and Chris picked out for Lily's room...turquoise, lime, hot pink, and brown.

Now, speaking of adding texture to a project....TUELLE! You just gotta love tuelle...it just screams, "It's a Girl!" Don't you agree?
|
|
I tied and knotted...knotted and and tied...tied and knotted...for hours!
|
|
Time to embellish...my favorite part! Now, crafting is fun...but the best part to me is the finishing touches. I have always loved to embellish things. I found these little birds at Hobby Lobby (course!) on the 1/2 off Valentine aisle. Knowing Lily's nursery theme is going to be birds I snatched up a couple of packs!

And there you go...! Cute huh? I thought it was so cute that Rachel might want to use it as her hospital wreath, so I had some letters that I had painted for another project (you'll see it soon) and I put them on temporarily to see what Rachel thinks....

LILY!
The finished project!
Can't wait to see what Rachel and Chris think. |
