Simple but so sweet..

The SO sweet Carnation,

I love this flower and its my birth month flower :)

 I made these with white Ribbon and painted them,

No two flowers are the same, the fold of the ribbon making each flower unique in its own right and also painting them makes them different by adding light or dark shades wherever you want making the whole picture unique to the creator.

I love black backgrounds, I think it brings out the colours so much more than white,

I've used black many times in cross stitch and the results were always beautiful.

Happy Crafting

Stop and smell the Roses

Hi all,
Thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous post :)
happy Tuesday, hope your week has been good so far with lots of stitching or whatever craft you're doing :)

I made this little flower garden, so stop and smell the roses :) lol

I started with white silk ribbon in 4 different sizes to make all the different flowers.

I then "painted" each individual flower and leaf

I hope you all have a happy week crafting

:)

The earth laughs in flowers...

And it SO does...

I really enjoyed making this,

I think there will be many, many more in the future.

Happy Crafting :)

What have I been doing?....

Well, I thought I would take the bull by the horns and Gooooo for it

LOL

I've been itching to have a go at trying my hand at some of the beautiful patterns in my new book

Little flowers

and when they say LITTLE flowers, they REALLY mean LITTLE flowers!!

LOL

This is such tiny and intricate work but SO much fun, 

The Whole picture is only 5in by 6in

so it gives you some idea of just how tiny the flowers are!

I've just the Daisy petals to do today and it's finished.

Happy new week :)

Peacock Framed

I Got my peacock back from the framers at the weekend :)

he's done a beautiful job of framing it and I'm so happy I took it straight away rather than leave it sitting in the drawer for a year...like I usually do :)

lol

now...where to hang it..I'm running out of wall space :)

Happy Crafting
