Crepe Paper Roses

Too beautiful for words!

I think no one could believe what they saw once

 they completed their roses.

We had a wonderful bunch of people on Saturday

for the two workshops. Everyone chose their own colour and 

then the cutting started. 

After a while we started

curling and cupping.... 

ok, important words when you are making flowers.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the workshops,

we had a wonderful day.

Preparing for the market.

It is the end of the year and the crafters I know

are working very hard to prepare for the markets at 

which they sell their products.

I have been painting these tiny creations

and the joy and anticipation of how the paint will dry 

is exhilarating.

The free motion sewing is something I have always 

wanted to do and I hope these are just the first few steps.

Do I keep the thread or do I cut it off?

You are welcome to leave a comment and help me decide.
