The Really Wild Flower Show

Here's an easy make...perhaps for Mothers Day or Easter?


I crossed a Kanzashi flower with a Suffolk Puff
and grew a happy hybrid.


Once the seed was sewn I couldn't stop.


My haberdashery was turning horticultural.


Nothing was safe...


I even pruned a shirt or two...


 some vintage curtains...


and an old skirt.


These two were cross polinated...


My scrappy grow bags are still growing...


but at least I now have some produce.


What do you do with your scraps?

Crafty ways make flowers grow.

  4. They are just gorgeous E,E. & I love your fabric combinations. I could just see them with a little brooch pin on the back or a hairclip perhaps .... or attached to the wrapping on a special gift ... hmmm ... the imagination boggles :-)
