Filter Paper Roses

This is the start of the filter paper roses. The filter paper i have used is called Harris Filter Papers sized 10-12 cup from the supermarket at $2 each. 40 filter papers and i have made 8 roses per packet. They have to be painted and curled.

I will be painting them tomorrow, then the day after that, cos they need to dry over night they will be curled.

New Project

This is the next project i am starting. having cut out my cardboard pieces am am going to make flowers and leaves using my ACDA door prize fabric.

Paris

This is a dog i met one day at MacDonalds. Her name is Paris and her owner gave me permission to post her picture.

This is Tilli in the Tub.
I had just finished taking out the laundry and before i could put down the lid, she jumped in and stayed there while i went and got my camera.

paper flowers

Coffee filter roses.
I found this on Martha Stewart web site, downloaded the pattern and went to give it a go. My pictures will be up tomorrow and you can be the judge. this is the original designers web site, Love the flowers heaps! Mommy Makes Roses
I plan on making these for my daughter for the wedding, plenty of time to get the form and colours right!

I cannot believe i have been away from the computer and my blog for so long!! sometimes life gets in the way, and crafting takes a back seat, but all is good i assure you. Things are getting back to normal now, Having constant rain does not help, my sewing table is just covered in damp clothes. well the whole family room is actually, from backs of chairs and clothes hanging up and draped on all surfaces including my sewing machine, my camera is on charge and tomorrow i will be putting up some pics of what i have been doing. Thank you for the lovely e-mails i really do appreciate them.
