leaf crown
November 8th, 2009
Well after that last post I went for a little walk to gather leaves. There was one lonely tree left with leaves on it, but they were huge and yellow and perfect. The boy and I snipped off their stems and folded them a bit, then I sewed them together one by one with a simple whip stitch. He picked yellow thread to match the leaves, so you can’t see it. But I have plans to stitch something on them in blue. This was such a simple and beautiful project. I think making these will be part of our fall for years to come.

It’s beautiful, what a great job!
Aww, this is amazing!! :)
Now you just need a homemade whopper.
Fantastic!
PS – yours is even better than the internet inspiration.
Fabulosity. We might have to try this tomorrow!
