Roses are red...

I don't know what it is lately but I can't get enough of little dainty post earrings.  They make me feel super girly and feminine for some reason.  I've decided to create some little hand sewn rosie earrings in tons of spring colors...a girl can never have enough earrings right?  I just listed some in my etsy shop http://www.poppychicdesigns.etsy.com/ so you can feel like a retro girly goddess too!

Artist Festival...

Over the weekend I had a booth at the local Frederick Artist Market during our downtown "Go Green" celebration.  It was lovely.  Sometimes doing so much of my work online, I forget just how nice it is to actually look someone in the eye and talk to them!  I loved seeing how people look when they buy one of my flowers then pop it in their hair right away.  Never underestimate the power of a well placed hair flower :) I even got the chance to catch up with a few of my crafty mom friends and we made plans to get together for crafty bonding in the near future.  So nice...thought I'd blog about, ironic huh!

Somewhat obsessed with fabric scraps...

I am constantly trying to find new ways to use the random strips of fabric that are leftover from my flower creations.  I just love creating cool unique accessories and most recently decided to try some wire word writing.  But I added a twist...fabric wrapped wire!  Of course I also added a little bloom too!

Shabby Chic Anyone?

I just love, love, love anything that combines a natural rustic feel with a touch of glamour.  I'm creating some new shabby chic spring flowers to add to my line of hair flowers.  The best part is these sweeties are made from recycled fabric scraps.  A sweet mix of wool felt, tulle, lace, fabric and a little rhinestone glam combine to create these little beauties.  Hope you like them as much as I do ♥

Favorite Things - Pincushion Rings

I thought I'd share some of my favorite things...first up Pincushion rings.  Seriously how many times did I drop, misplace, lose, or vaccum up my needles.  Well I decided to bring the pincushion to my finger tips...literally.  I use pincushion rings!  I make them from wool felt and a nice sturdy metal ring base, design them as pretty flowers and BAM no more lost needles.
