Yeah!!! We finally got my sunflower up!
My dining room/kitchen/playroom/schoolroom area is all open and with seven children it often echoes quite a bit in there. So we schemed and designed and came up with a “rug” to put on the ceiling to help with the noise level. The center is latch hook and was actually the longest part of the project. And the petals are made from some material that Dan rescued from a job and stuffed just like a pillow. Then my Dad stapled it all together on plywood and luan and we screwed it to the ceiling.
Do you think we should use a big green rope to make a stem come down the wall and maybe paint a big leaf on the wall? =)
Thanks Judy and Mom and Dad for your help! And everyone else who pitched in to help with the latch hook, the scheming, and design.

Looks great Liisa! Cindy is going to be jealous. Have you seen her entertainment stand/magic treehouse?
I did not know you could get a latch hook that large. It looks great!
Liisa, It looks really fun. I hope it helps decrease the echo a lot for you.
What a clever idea! If you were serious in asking about the rope and leaf, I wouldn’t do either. I like it just the way it is.
What a great idea. That will liven things up and keep the kids entertained. You have done a great job.
That is so pretty!
What originality!! A great idea, and it looks very nice.

This is beautiful! No need to add a leaf and stem. The kids may want to swing on the stem. Ha!
Now that is creative. I like it. You definatley need to add the stem. (-:
I LOVE IT!!!
