I love this ecard. A friend just sent it to me and I started cracking up. With a reception upcoming in spring of next year (Mother's Day weekend to be exact), I ambitiously decided to hand make corsages out of ribbon (it lasts longer!) to honor each of the mothers attending the event. Doing one would be OK, but holy cow can it take it forever when there are 17 to do! Never known to go the easy way, most of the flowers have intricate parts and pieces that require multiple steps to fabricate...17 times over... Unfortunately, I JUST finished crafting all the flowers last night otherwise I would have put up a tutorial on how I did it. But, don't worry, there will be a picture of the final product :)
And speaking of the final product, there's something to be said of the old fashioned sewing circles and doing it right. I quickly realized that it would be way more fun, and I would look less like a lush, to invite some girlfriends over to help out on my quest of mother's day ribbon flower corsages! After finally picking a date, we are all getting together this Friday for crafting, sangria drinking, and gyro eating.
They have varying degrees of craft ability or, more importantly, desire to craft but having them there for conversation and laughs is the main goal!
Do you prefer crafting alone or with a group???
