My Mom recently renewed her devotion to crocheting. She has been doing it for over 50 years and is darn good at it, if I must say so! So a few weeks back, I asked her to make me a variety of flowers. I told her she had free reign to make them however she wanted... I just wanted them to be pink! 
When my Mama gave me the finished 'master pieces' I kinda just let them sit on my project desk for a few... uhm, days, yeah, days. You know, waiting for inspiration to hit me upside the head. Then BLAMO- I looked at them and a book I was tearing apart to make paper flowers with and it hit me! And old fashioned corsage! With a sewing/ textile theme to go with the hand craftiness of it all! I used some goodies from my paper crafts by Cosmo Cricket, a torn book page, hat pins, ribbon and vintage lace with my Mom's flower. I am sad to report that I have no big plans for my corsage other than admiring it on my project table as I craft and surf the web!
