♥ Something To Do...

It’s Sunday, so why not grab a cup of tea and make this amazingly easy little project.
Made from suede or leather you can adorn these cute little flowers onto any old or recycled pillow.


Tools and Materials
- Ultrasuede fabric
- Needle and thread
- Store-bought pillow

Instructions
1. Photocopy or print template, enlarging or reducing as desired. Using template, cut out 4 petals from fabric.
2. Knot end of thread; sew a running stitch through bottom of petals, making 2 stitches for each.
3. Gently pull thread to gather petals, and knot thread.
4. Make 1 more stitch to connect last and first petals to form flower, then knot and trim thread.
5. Repeat, making flowers in a variety of sizes. Tack-stitch flowers to pillow in the desired pattern.

Project can be found at Marthastewart

♥ CocoaPod On Etsy




Jewelry designer Renee Garabedian has a love for the surroundings around her little home town in Western Australia, combined with her passion for jewelry making... These two worlds meet as CocoaPod.
Her business on Etsy opened in 2006 offering jewelry which is not only inspired by nature but created too perfection. Below is a photograph of her new Lotus necklaces which she has added to her collection. Each pendent is made of Czech glass trumpet flowers, adorned with sterling silver and freshwater pearls.
