Framed Flowers

Yesterday I finally did a project I have wanted to do for awhile. I framed some flowers to put in my daughter Hailey’s room! A while back I saw Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom crochet and frame some cute flowers and I thought it was a great idea. I wasn’t a huge fan of the flower pattern she used and I ended up forgetting about the project.

One day when I was crocheting a set of coasters, I noticed if I left the edging off the coaster, the flower was really cute. I made a mental note and moved on.

I finally put the ideas together and got this!

I already had the frames and kind of just hoped for the best when I put the flowers in there. They fit just right!

I hung one on either side of the window in Hailey’s room. I love how they look. It’s simple but brings a little more color to the room.

Hailey’s room is almost done being decorated. My last project is to sew some simple pink curtains.

Here is another wall in her room

The letters were made by my good friend Rachel. Aren’t they adorable? Hailey likes to look at them and spell out her name.

 

That’s all for now! Happy crocheting

    Very cute both the room and the flowers. They would be lovely on the front of a greeting card too.
