I have been playing with flowers today as my beautiful Older Daughter has a melodrama that her class is putting on at school. We started the day shopping for a "Prom" dress for the melodrama...and found a lovely one at one of the local thrift stores for $14ish...perfect!
Here is a hint of what that looks like. We actually found a couple of dresses, but the one on the left is what she will be wearing. The other is to be used in a "tea party" scene...
We need to press everything and then do a final try on...I'll be sure to take pictures so you can see. The flowers are a wrist corsage and matching hair flowers to be worn with...ignore all the "stuff" in the background, it is a typical teenage girls room.
We then made wrist corsages for all of the other girls...part of what my Older Daughter offered to bring. I was willing, great fun for me, I love to play with flowers...I don't think these pictures really do these justice at all, they are much prettier and more "real" looking than these appear here...
We did two colors...pinks...
...and peaches...
...and then my little Rosie Posie needed in on the "Princess" action,
so I made up a little Tussie Musie for her...
After that, we needed to make the matching hair clips for Older Daughter's dresses...
...and we had an extra clip left and some brown flowers and made this one too,
just for fun.
Dress shopping and flower play...It was a fun day!
Sounds like a perfect mother/daughter day.
