flower sticker jewelry :: kid project

have you ever looked closely at the sticker section in your local craft store?  i mean, you know, since you were 8?  when i walked through, i was surprised at all of the fabric stickers!  everything in this statement necklace above can be simply peeled and stuck on!

we did this for a kiddo's project in our last class.  such an easy and fun project for little ones.  however, i did reinforce my flower stickers with fabric glue just to be safe.

i think this would be a wonderful gift for little ones to make as a gift for mother's day!  this project could also be even more simplified by just cutting a single strip of felt and then making a cuff bracelet / corsage.  if your little one made a corsage they could even gift it as an easter dinner host gift!

p.s.  although adorable, these stickers can be quite expensive.  be sure to catch them on sale!  

how does your garden grow? :: etsy finds

so, i have a friend that waits until mother's day each year to plant her flowers.  i can't wait that long.  as soon as we get a day in the 70's, i'm outside prepping the soil, cleaning up the yard, etc.  this year, i did something extra to teach my son a little science lesson.  we planted seeds.  and some of them are actually growing!

we still have cold nights and some cold days ahead of us...  which is why my friend waits until mother's day.  here are a few gardening items from etsy to satisfy you while we anxiously wait!

lavender antique spoon garden marker - there are a bunch of these on hammer mann's site.  i just love them.

the intrinsic garden sells this lovely necklace.  the tiny pink flower adds a spring touch, but this could be worn all year long.

wood burning is so cool.  this piece by unconventional ida would look lovely in a porch window among other greenery. 

i've never seen a hummingbird feeder so beautiful and unique.  bird artist made this kolkwitzia flower feeder out of polymer clay. 

go ahead... say it with me... "ahhhhh".  so cute.  every little love needs a modBonnet by ub2 to keep the sun away while mommies and daddies garden!
