springtime DIY

Over the spring break I have tried to get one or 2 little projects I have had in mind completed. The first being to replace the foam mosaics that were in the breakfast area. hie I love the animal and transportation mosaics, they have been there for almost 2 years,and I am sick of looking at them!So I gathered pictures that I snapped myself,or found online, and picked up some $2.oo frames at wal-mart and VOILA!! So much nicer. Each one is one of our birth flowers. Since there are 2 March birthdays (mine and becca's) I put the daffodils on either side. And did the kids in birth order.

close up of the fabrics, the one looks brown, but is actually a swirly gold pattern! and the mint green has a soft floral pattern.

The second project was some fabric bunting. Now I did a personalized one for a girlfriend of mine back in Fl. and I was in love! So I made another one for Rebecca,since I had enough left over fabric...and just might make one for each of the boys as well! It turned out so cute.
