Flower Wreaths - Work in Progress

 These are all work in progress and I may change my mind on how they are completed - The great thing is that I can change them about and add different elements as the mood takes me - or match them to the current season.

All the flowers from the previous blog and the wreath elements from this one - are all from Forever Flowerz.

Silk Flowers

 One craft I have been trying recently is making up silk flower kits and wreaths, as they are something my eyes can cope with.

Rather than put a different picture up for the next few days, I am grouping these in one blog.


Begonias - a free pack of flowers with another order.

My absolute favourite - large peonies in pink, dark pink, and creamy/yellow.   The are so realistic!  The family all wanted some - so rather than have arguments on who got what colour - I gave them mixed bouquets!


A few red poinsettias - I have also got some white ones, plus a wrath to put some on - will share that at a later day.

Gosh - has it been that long? Plus 30th Wedding Anniversary Card

 Me bad - I haven't blogged in ages - OK - I haven't don a lot, due to my failing eyesight, but am hoping that this might be rectified this week when I have laser treatment on one of my eyes.   Time will tell.

This is my most recent effort a card requested by a friend for his wife on the occasion of their Pearl Anniversary.

Obviously with my eyesight these days I kept it fairly simple, and in fact raided some of my stash of ribbons and pearls etc that I rarely use these days.   The little  topper was hand-painted by me, and fetured flowers what were in his wife's wedding bouqet.   He was delighted with it - so hope his wife is too!
To make it a bit more special - I made a box to put the card in.
