DIY with tiny roses!

I am at it again with the Trader Joe's flowers.  Now my teeny tiny spray roses are the victims.  After they started to droop, I just chopped them all off of the their stems, then I let them thoroughly dry in this little bowl.  They look so cute, even just in the bowl.  And I must say, I love the pink and blue combo.

But I couldn't let this be the end, I needed a quick fix, I mean project.  They seemed like they would be so sweet as another flower necklace, for one of the many creatures who calls Factory 506 home!  Needle and thread and about 5 minutes was all it took...  Until I decided that it needed little orange tassels on the ends.

  Doesn't it look cute hanging on my urn?

But even cuter on this little antique fawn, who by the way, also loves turquoise jewelry and leopard print.  But who doesn't???

And here she is all dressed up enjoying the day under the hydrangea bushes.  

DIY with Flower Petals!

I LOVE to treat myself to flowers from Trader Joes.  The price is right, they always have a nice variety of flowers and a great selection of colors.  I fell particularly hard for my last bunch, a beautiful bundle of the most perfect big, fluffy, peachy/pink/soft yellow roses.  I was so sad when they started to fade and droop.  Death was inevitable, but I found a way to enjoy them for a bit longer!

I carefully pulled all the petals off of the stems and used a needle and thread to make them into a necklace of sorts.  Who did I know who needed a flower petal necklace?

This guy! 

 Look at him all secure in his masculinity wearing a flower necklace.  

I am not sure what will happen to them over time, but I will report back!
