Felted flowers. Christmas gift ideas.

Early this month I was posting some Christmas gift ideas for her. One of the gift idea was a very lovely felted flower. And today I would like to share with you some fashion tips how you can wear those flowers. 

Back when I was selling my homemade jewelry on Etsy I met Irina (Beautyland.us) and since that time we became a good friends. She creates beautiful gemstone jewelry and she is also learned how to felt. In her felted collection you can find earrings and felted flowers.

Here is some ideas how you can wear those beautiful flowers. 

Pink felted flower brooch 

Yellow felted flower brooch 

White and pink felted flower 

Grey flower brooch 

Red and black flower brooch

Each flower Irina creates in her studio and she knows for sure how to bring those beautiful felted flowers to life.  Choose the one you like the best and you can wear it with the scarfs or like a pin on your favorite dress. If you like headbands simple attach your flower to headband and you've got new look with beautiful flowers. 

Those felted brooches will be great for  any ages. Everybody love flowers so don't wait and get your felted flower brooch or pin  during this Christmas holiday.

Quote of the week.

Being a mom is the hardest yet most enjoyable lifetime achievement a woman can do.

Being a mom is the best given gift to me. Seeing how my daughter grows everyday is  what makes me wake up and give her my first smile. I get the smile back. 

Thais why I created a Circle of Love rings for me and my daughter. One day she'll be a Mom too.

I was in the mood to go to the water front park at Edmonds. This park is on the way  to my daughter school so I was lucky enough to spend some  nice time there. It was 9 am. and a lot of fog.  Contrasts in colors. Yes I do love this!  Turquoise color jewelry is very nice. I was wearing sterling silver and magnesite bracelet. (Necklace is a part of my CMA collection)

What I wear today. Jewelry

Last two weeks I was making photos of my daughter on the way to school. It was kind of "Lexi's school style".. I did like this idea it's like a challenge to make you do something you like but everyday. 

You probably know by now that I've got my own handmade jewelry business RitaSunderland.com. I'm enjoying what I'm doing but most of the time I simple forget to  put my jewelry when I'm out and about. It's not easy to maintain several websites, school, after classes activities (well most of busy mom will know this). 

So I'm challenging myself from today for the month to wear every day different piece of handmade jewelry. If you would like to join me - let's do it together ! 

So let's start! 

Day 1. 

It was a bit cold this morning so I put my peach turtle neck sweater and those dangle earring just called my name. They actually were waiting it's time to be photographed so it was easy choice for me to put them on.  Fancy heart shape faceted red garnet  and black garnet. 

Jewelry challenge. Day 1. 

I will use my Instagram account to post photos everyday. So if you are on Instagram  follow me @RitaSunderland
