Romantic Roses

Its amazing how some plants and trees have the abilty to keep going in all sorts of conditions. We have a rose tree a few doors down that has been blooming since early spring and is only now on its last fading blossom.
The houses have been abandoned for many years but this beautiful old tea rose is nearly as high as the house and seems to be getting more and more beautiful every season.
Of course roses are the most romantic flower in the whole garden although the colour of the bloom is a very important choice to get across the right message. The roses I see everyday are a beautiful bright pink and to thank them for their graceful beauty all last year and to put my mind in the spirit for valentines day, the next festival of the year I have started work on a selection of rolled rose fascinators and other fabric pieces to brighten up my studio and to remind me that the worst of winter is soon to pass.

Kit making for the WI

I'm sitting here making up kits for organza roses and crochet flowers for a WI demo that we are doing tonight. This has been booked since early this year but as is my usual style I am only just making the kits. I need to make 25 of each and but keep getting distracted by the dog (bless her)

These are what we will be making

I've also found a use for all the organza offcuts from the flowers, My other job is after school craft clubs and we're currently making paper mache fridge magnets and they will be fantastic for the fish.
