Flower Power

"Inspiration: The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative."

This definition pretty much encompasses my every day life. I came across a website months ago called Whippycake. It was the middle of Winter and I needed something new to occupy my time, at least for a little while. While perusing this website, I kind of fell in love. With flower accessories made from fabric, ribbon, buttons, etc. I thought to myself...well I have plenty of fabric and ribbons AND buttons, I could do this. And so my short lived obsession began. I spent hours on Google and YouTube watching video's on how to make these swanky little accessories and eventually I took a stab at it. I have to admit, at first I felt slightly defeated, but then I started to get the hang of it and realized that as long as it didn't involve a needle and thread (and instead a decent amount of hot glue), I was good to go. 
Sometimes you just need a little inspiration.

Hope you're inspired to try something new!
