Happy Friday!!
I hope you have all had a great week. We have been gearing up for Back to School on Monday. I don’t think any of us are quite ready – the kids or me for that matter. The house gets awfully quiet when school starts.
I want to take a minute to share a few things before the Crush this week.
1. If you haven’t taken time to check out the sidebar in a while – I’ve moved some things around. I have a new “What did you say?” quote that makes me laugh every time I read it.
There’s also a new square Flamingo Toes button – in case you prefer that over the rectangle version. If you want to paste one of those on your blog it would just make my day. :)
Also – there’s a Facebook button there – click on that if you want to “Like” Flamingo Toes and get updates and random comments from me on Facebook . Compelling, I know.
2. There should be a couple of guest posts going up today. I’ll let you know when they’re up so you can check out the fun. :)
Ok. Enough about me. It’s time for the Crush of the Week!!!
Today’s Crush is the amazingly talented Alison from Oopsey Daisy!
Have you meet Alison yet? You might have – her projects are featured just about everywhere. And rightly so because they are all adorable. It’s hard to pick three – but here we go. . .
First up is her Crepe Paper Rose Wreath.
Look closely – this wreath is made up of Crepe Paper Roses.
Oh – you picked up on that from the title? Clever you.
This wreath is amazing and a little intimidating. That’s a stinkin’ lot of roses. Two and half rolls worth.
I love it!
One of my other favorites is this darling Recycled Denim Apron.
She uses jeans and turns them into an apron! I love that little pocket. Really Really cute.
She also made this Denim Ruffled Table Runner.
You really can’t go wrong with denim and ruffles. Add in all those sweet fabrics and you have a great addition to your table! And how great would this be changed out for the seasons – so fun.
Well as you can see – Oopsey Daisy is a great place to hang out and be inspired. Alison always has something going on – creative crafts, really yummy recipes, giveaways – and lots more! Take some time this weekend to look around – or rediscover – all the great ideas and fun!
Beverly-

A very fun feature! Love her denim apron, so cute and practical…Happy Weekend!
I love that table runner. I’d seen it once and it’s stayed on my mind :D
How stinking cute! I made a denim apron once, but it didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked. It’s also among the first sewing projects I ever did, before I had really mastered the needle (I don’t use a machine), so that might explain it. Maybe I’ll make a new one one of these days :)
Like the denim apron. Great use for old jeans.
Yay, Alison! I’ve had a *crush* on Oopsey Daisy for a while. Great highlights!!
Bev, you absolutely made me blush!! It was so fun to see what 3 posts you picked out… and man, you picked some of my favorites too!! Thanks for thinking of me!!
