Home Decor Ideas on You Are the Star
Welcome to You're The Star - Home Week
Welcome to another new week in May. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Ours was quite. My Louie (long haired Dachshund) was not feeling well. I had to keep him quiet all weekend, which was hard because the puppies love him. Poor little guy. I hope he is better by Monday morning.

Decorating Ideas on Thursday Favorite Things
Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things Party
Happy Thursday friends. I hope everyone is well. I spent last night with my friend down in Ft. Lauderdale. I always enjoy spending time with her. We laugh and eat and usually have one drink. neither one of us is a big drinker.
One of the best parts is she always gives me a wonderful facial. I always feel bad because it get all of the benefits. Of course that is her line of work. I just enjoy it.
I am heading home today. Have a great day!
Many of my features come from your comments. Don't forget to leave our Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you might become one of my features for next week.

Travel, Food and Decorating on Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop
Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!
Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is off to a great start. All is well here. The puppies are growing and doing well. All the dogs seem to be handling the addition of the puppies except for Lily. She is almost 16 and almost blind so they scare her when they jump at her. I just put here where they can't get to her. They are keeping me busy.
We have some great features for you this week, I hope you check them out. Please link up your wonderful posts.
On to the party!
Butterflies and Flowers Garland
Butterflies and Flower Garland
I have this shelf in my family room and I like to make different things for various holidays. I added a string across the bottom to hang items. I will be getting ready for some Memorial Day items, but in the meantime, I made some butterflies and flowers to go on it.
I haven't finished the top yet, but the garland is done.
I made three butterflies and two flowers. I had this fun fabric that I used for two of he butterflies. it almost looked liked a quilt fabric, but wasn't. I got it at Hobby Lobby.
I used some vintage clothes pins for the centers. If you don't have any, you could just keep them plain. If you are interested in the pattern, email me and I will send it to you. eclecticredbaarn@gmail.com
I played around with it for awhile to get the size I wanted. I actually made the quilted one bigger than the other two. I used a blanket stitch around the edges, but you could stitch it if you want.
If you decide to use a clothes pin, make sure you have ones that have a large opening. The newer ones do not have a big enough opening to get the fabric into. You can see the difference in the ones below. The one on the left is my vintage one and the other one is newer.
For the flowers, I just made a pattern that had 5 loops around. I just used some scrap fabric to make these. I did use pinking sheers to cut them out and then used the blanket stitch.
So there you have me late spring garland of flowers and butterflies.
