felt flower broach

Remember this broach from Not Martha posted at Holidash?

I made one from another felted wool sweater I have been saving for…something. Do you do that too? My husband is really patient with me for doing that. 🙂 I know…I am on a roll for ruining wool sweaters. I have one left…it’s pink. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Well…so I am sure that regular felt is easier to be more exact with…and ahem…if you are more careful about cutting, your flower will look more like a perfect dahlia and less like a ball of orange moss- my husband’s words not mine. 🙂 I would show you an up close…but I didn’t get one in time for this post. Just imagine the nice one above but a little messier. 🙁

Still I liked it enough to wear it for family pictures I tried to do myself. Really…not great.

See…kids aren’t looking. Sigh. My husband is trying to hold as still as possible because we were using a timer…oh what a lame picture.

edited to add: I got a comment about Reid’s little tie. Go to this post and you should find the link on how to make it there. It is made out of an old man’s tie.

I almost decided to hire out for someone to do them for us but decided I don’t really want all the fun extras that come with a full photo shoot this time. I really just want a family picture and a jumping picture for the Christmas card.

Plus I did get this “extra” that I like from the first attempt. It is probably the only picture I really like from our first attempt. Sigh…again.

I gave it another shot today at our house…

Much better.

I am a big fan of pictures at our own home. Everyone is more comfortable and the location less novel. I think it really captures our family better to be at home in our jeans just having fun.

    I really like the one of all your silhouettes. 🙂 Do you live in Logan? I recognize some of the places you have taken photos and I totally LIVE at Honks all a dollar. I think I go there right after you because I saw only a few spray paints left. 🙂
    P.S. love your brooch 😉

    Love the jumping pic. Why don't you just hop on over to Denver and do this for us! 😀 I guess I could just use my timer too.
