The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Sommer made these charming little boutonnieres for baby shower favors. My niece Rachel, and nephew Matt, both have prom dates this weekend. Wouldn’t these be a fun alternative to pin to a lapel?
Know anyone going to the prom this Spring? I can’t wait to see my niece and nephew all dressed up.

Flora June Blair has arrived. We think we're so lucky to have a new baby in our home. Would you like to get to know her? You can read her birth story here. See the birth photos here. Check out her colorful newborn portraits here. And here are some photos of her looking like a serious old man.
Since I originally announced my pregnancy, readers have been sending in stories about birth and adoption, favorite memories and good advice. You can find them all here.
Also. If you're curious, here's what I looked like 30 weeks pregnant, and 8 1/2 months pregnant.
I write a weekly column called Inspiration Scout on Cafémom. Find new posts on Thursdays.
I write a daily post (Monday through Friday) for Babble's Family Style blog.

My husband and I tried sneaking into prom at our old high school a couple weeks ago! The 29th was 10 years since our first date, Junior prom. It was such a sweet night. I wore a pink lacy 50’s prom dress and got my hair done at a salon with all the giddy teens in town. Did a portrait session while having our dinner picnic. Snuck in but only long enough to have our official prom picture taken and a dance to no music on the empty floor. Prom hadn’t started yet(it’s held in the mall of all places) but they were beginning to kick out the mall walkers in favor of teens with wrist bands. We moved on to our fav since the beginning bistro for a quiet date with photographer in tow. I made the Martha pine cone boutonniere an hr before the shoot since it was a quick make. This was all throw together in a matter of 3 days so all was rushed. Once I get the photos from our photog I’ll pass them your way. It was such a fun night.
what an interesting idea!
My sister made these! She’s soooo happy that you posted them! Thanks Gabrielle for your interest, she was very pleased with the idea herself, I must say ;)
That is the coolest idea! I love, love, love fabric flower right now, I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this idea first! I’ll have to keep that in mind the next time one of my siblings gets married! (There are still 8 single!)
Such a neat idea! I did something similar with scrapbook paper! Check it out! http://framefanatic.blogspot.com/2010/05/last-minute-diy-mothers-day-gifts.html
Very charming indeed. Love them.
