18.01.2022 I apologise as its been a while since I posted here, but now Im pretty excited as a new book came last Friday that Ive been waiting months for, I have to say that its an absolutely stunning book and I couldnt wait to try something. Jessie @craftedtobloom has created this beautiful book. I really wanted to try the cherry blossom and so far here are 2 branches. This book was just the inspiration I needed to really start creating again. Thankyou so much Jessie Im a bit excited xxx
17.01.2022 Ok Im stuck lol, Facebook has changed were my private messages are and now I cant find them at all. Can anyone please help me as I need to contact someone but cannot for the life of me find her Thankyou in advance xxx
16.01.2022 My first wall hanging with macrame and Im definitely hooked. I purchased a kit yesterday but didnt really like the pattern, just wanted the right amount of rope lol. I decided to just go for it and create my own design. Im amazed at how simple knots can turn into something pretty, only 2 different knots in this one. I also wanted to try and get an idea of how it would look using my paper flowers with them. It needs to be on a bigger scale of course but Im loving the idea more and more. Im ready for the next one lol
15.01.2022 Im so sorry Ive been MIA for a while, Ive missed making flowers but the last few nights Ive actually been dreaming of them so it was time for action. I could not sleep last night at all as i have a throat like razor blades so before I fall in a heap. ( if i do ) i needed to dye paper and create some flowers. I was asked by my lovely work mate to create a blue rose. I wasnt 100% sold on my blue paper so it was time for some alcohol ink dying, a first for me and wont be last, Im so in love with the way ink turned the paper. I used white 180 grm and doublette paper. I didnt stop just at the blue rose and made 2 more so far in some awesome colors. I also made my own templates for these roses and I can see lots more coming. Xoxo
15.01.2022 Hopefully these are better pics now that I home. What a great day I had, I met some really wonderful people, created lots of interest with 2 potential weddings, was asked to attend another show and demonstration in March and a couple of demonstrations for some very worthy groups of ladies soon. Also sold quite a few small bouquets so all in all it was really amazing and something I will definitely do again. Xx so this is the bouquet I made with a bit of bling and the flowers for a cake. Xo
15.01.2022 These are for a project this week, faded coral charm peonies using my own techniques and colors, love them and cant wait to show you what theyll become xx
14.01.2022 So I just had to make another one and this is the first time Ive following an awesome YouTube tutorial. Im so in love and need to make more. Who would have thought tying knots would be so addictive lol

07.01.2022 I was asked to make a few of these kusadama flowers to add to a wedding cake. The bride and groom are Harry Potter fans so their made with pages of a Harry Potter book.

Cant wait to see the cake all made up as I know its going to be so beautiful xxx More photos to come. Id forgotten how much I enjoy making these flowers xx
