As I've mentioned in previous posts, I really love fabric and felt flowers--both making them and wearing them. In December, I used this tutorial by Heart of Light to make myself a ruffly headband from a black grosgrain ribbon and cream lining fabric.

(Can I just say that it is ridiculously hard to take a picture of your own head? This is just one of many, many photos--most of which were of the wall behind me.)

Here are the two flower-related projects I'd like to try next:

Rose Barrettes from Molly's Sketchbook at The Purl Bee

From my husband:

Cross-stitch earrings by The Pin Pals.

I've completely fallen in love with the ruffly and romantic fabric flowers of B. Poetic. I would have loved to have worn a B. Poetic ribbon belt or pair of shoe clips at my August wedding--and would have, had I known about them sooner!

From one of my Christmas crafting sessions with my mom:

a green felt flower brooch.
