Froggie

Last week I sewed this frog, but I haven't stuffed it yet.

My First Hair Flower

For my friend's bachelorette party, I made a hair pin with a cream gardenia hair flower (from Michael's) with pale amethyst, fire-polished beads wired at the center.  Today I found an old picture of my friend wearing the hair flower on her wedding day.  If/when I make another hair flower, I'll just sew the beads to the flower, but at that time I had no thread and used wire that was lying around.  

Love Birds

A week or so ago, I sewed these green and pink "love birds" by hand.  That was a slow and painful process, so I hope to learn how to use a sewing machine sometime soon.
