Owl, Leaf, Butterfly and Flower Garden

I made more little felt ornaments this week.

The owl, leaf and butterfly were inspired by pictures I found online.

I see pictures and say to myself...  "I can do that."

So I take a good look, and then go figure it out.

I draw my own paper pattern, so they are similar yet different from the original.

 Then I pull out the supplies and let the fun begin. 

 Small, crafty projects like these are good stress busters.
(But you don't have any of that in your life, do you?)

(To see the original pictures that triggered this creative burst,

see my "craft inspiration" board on pinterest.)

This one is my own creation.

It's the flowers that my parents picked on their wedding day, many years ago.

And I'll be giving this to my Mom when our family gathers together this weekend.
