Crafty Day

First, I fell in love with this fabric at IKEA:

So, I finally made some curtain panels out of it. I need to go get more. Some of my windows are bigger than others. I do love having colorful trees in my window instead of the drab colorless panels that were there before.

Then, I saw these little decorations hanging in a row on top of a curtain panel on display at IKEA.
I liked the idea, but wasn't going to spend money on the bright doilies. Instead, I thought about what extra fun decorative thing I could do. Spring made me think flowers. So I found directions online for making cloth flowers... They looked cute, and I had lots of little pieces of fabric just sitting around waiting to become something. First, I made these:

And these:
Then I noticed the flowers on the Lyric Art I have...Cool.

Anyway, I strung my bright ones to hang them the way the doilies were on display at IKEA.I don't really like the result. These flowers are too small to even matter in this context. I think they'll work better as clips for bags or clothes or hair. I will try something else for window decoration. (I do love my curtains, though.)
