Twinkling Stars--NEW

FINALLY finished my latest afghan pattern. I'm going to have someone give it a try before I call it done and list it on etsy. Its not too difficult, but its probably not for any beginners. Its also my first pattern I've done with my new photo editing and scrapbooking software--I'll have to re-do my old patterns and make them look as nice as this one does.

New flowers, and headbands coming!

So I designed a new flower, and I'm really excited by how it turned out. It looks great on hats and headbands, and I'm doing some more experimentation with the embellishments.

(This picture was the best I could do with a squirmy 9 month old! It'll have to do for now.)
I'm thinking that a fabric headband that matches the fabric on the button would be soooo beautiful! I'm going to try out some headband patterns and see how that turns out. I have a few more headband ideas that might work well with this flower also. I'll start listing them on etsy as soon as I feel like their ready (and I have a good picture).

The flowers have 3 tiers, about 4-4.5 inches in diameter. I love the covered button for the center, but I'm thinking a novelty button would look great, too.
