Flowers and Florence

 We are in the midst of Autumn, here in N.C. At this point, all the leaves have turned, and nights have gotten chillier. As much as I am loving the color outside, I really wanted to bring some indoors. Unfortunately, fresh flowers are expensive. You know what is even more expensive than fresh flowers, fake flowers. So I decided to take matters into my own hands, and make some flowers. They just happen to be pom-pom flowers, made from some yarn in some gorgeous Autumnal colors. 

I followed a super simple tutorial at Poopscape Projects  and glued the pom-pom onto some twigs I collected outside. I left my pom-poms a little irregular and cut the twigs to different heights to add some interest to the "bouquet". Altogether, I spent roughly an hour on the project, and I absolutely love the results!


 On another note, if you have not heard the new Florence and the Machine album,Ceremonials, you have to take a listen. The album in lush and gorgeous and perfect for crisp fall days. I am kind of obsessed with the track "What the Water Gave Me".
