Mother's Day Bouquet

I know my mom will love this.  Included are her three kids (spouses included) and nine grandchildren (baby bump is also included).

The best part; the flowers won't die and I know they're my mom's 'favorite'.

Burlap Wreath

Here is my version of a wreath I saw on Pinterest.

Original inspiration and tutorial...

Here are my hints:
  • Don't use your best fabric scissors for cutting the burlap (save those for the fabric).  
  • The burlap is extremely messy and time consuming to cut (avoid wearing black while cutting it).
  • Use outdoor upholstery fabric so that it does not fade as easily as a regular cotton print.
Enjoy!  I did.  Plus it is fun to come home and see the cheery spring/summer wreath on the door.
