a big idea: inspired by flowers


I got some "just because" flowers from my hubby at work the other day and I couldn't help but photograph them.  I've never gotten "just because" flowers before.  Sometimes I get "special occasion" flowers and they are usually red roses.  I love this mixed bouquet so much more.





Feeling inspired by flowers, I rounded up some flower related craft projects...


This pillow just proves once again that I must give crochet another try.


This is an Anthropologie inspired pillow.  I love projects that use up pretty scraps.  I always forget to look to this store for inspiration until I see yet another funky knock off.


Check out these very pretty flower paper balls.  I love the muted purple.

Aren't "just because" flowers awesome??? I think they are better than "occasion" flowers because they are so unexpected. I love that crochet pillow, I may have to give that a try.. thanks for the link.

I don't remember the last time I got just because flowers, but they are fun to receive. Love all the flower projects. Thanks for sharing.
