ATC's and Posies

The theme of the last ATC swap at TSR was buttons so I made this one for Daisy. I had the teeniest buttons in my stash and had no idea where to use them. The small scale of the ATC was just the right proportion to use them.



Janine, this month's TSR diva, is having two guest designers each day make samples of a certain kind of homemade or altered embellishment. Today I was tapped to make fabric posies and this is what I came up with:

And here's the sort of thing you can do with fabric posies:





Healthy: Ate a decent breakfast at a proper time. You have no idea how I struggle with this simple task.
Wealthy: Making a week's worth of meals. Hopefully we'll keep our one week without restaurant streak going.
Wise: Did my reading assignment first thing this morning.

Cute ATC :) And I just heart those posies...I'd wear one in my hair right now if I had one!

It's tough...the whole eating at a restaurant thing! We live out in the middle of no where, so we can usually go 1 1/2-2 weeks.

Like the flowers....

You've been busy I see today, I'm working on rearranging my craft room, just becaue I purchased a
dignitet.

Love eating out.... but after being gone so long, its great making a few home made favorite dishes this week. However to cook meals for the week in advance I would find that hard to do.

I love your posies especially the felt one. I love the ACT too. I had a really hard time with the button one. Hopefully the next one will be easier.
