13 eyelet lace flower

We shared this recently over at Melanie's blog, who is a sweet friend of mine :)

My daughter is my absolute world to me. I look forward to seeing that contagious little smile every morning, the scrunch of her little nose, and the gleam of excitement in her eyes when she knows she is doing something she isn't supposed to. It's funny how quickly you forget what life was like before you had your little ones. Before my Sabrina, I'm sure I would have filled my day with work and some tv episodes. I have happily traded that in for playing horsie on the floor and making flowers for Sabrina to wear. :) And boy do I make a ton of flowers. I'm a bit obsessed! Here is my new favorite...

What you'll learn about me is that I can't sew. It's on my list of things to learn. Usually I cannot even get the sewing machine to work and even if I do, I have never even come close to sewing a straight line. So! Janae (little sister) is my designated sewer. She sewed a line on the bottom of this eyelet lace (which I am througholy impressed with, I have know idea how she managed to stay in such a small space!) with a very wide stitch and kept both ends open.

This way I was able to easilty pull on one thread to make the entire thing ruffle.

As I ruffled along, I spun it in a circle, glueing periodically as I went.

And after glueing it to some stretchy lace, I get to do another one of my favorite hobbies....photoshoots with Sabrina! (as you've probably noticed I share a picture of her almost every post, just can't help myself)
