Happy, happy, happy :)

I had this post all done and tried to post it several times last week and it wouldn't post so here we go again.
This time I thought before I added all the wording {it wouldn't save it either} I would just see if it would post
today and wa la it did! So now I have to edit it to add the script. lol I am just glad it posted!!

I have been trying to use up items that I have had laying around here instead of purchasing more fun
things so these are my latest creations. Old bingo cards embellished with words and flowers.

I punched the letters out of old game pieces. I have tons of these!!

Faith, Hope, Love, Dream, Trust

I haven't decided if they are done or if I should add ribbon to hang them, but I think I like them as they are. 

After I created the ones above I just had to make this banner.

If you watch Duck Dynasty then you know all about

happy , happy, happy!!

Love that show!

Happy weekend friends...it is almost over, but it was beautiful here in Michigan
today...finally!! :) Can't wait for more warm days.

Rosette Party today!

I hope you wonderful rosette makers out there

will bear with me today. I decided last night...at the

last minute that I wanted to join the

French Cupboard rosette party.

Definitely not much time to prepare so be warned

that these are not the most beautiful photos you will

ever see , but they are definitely rosettes.

I made this rosette pin a few days ago by tearing off a

strip of old white fabric that had the crochet trim still

attached. I love how it turned out. One of my

favorites right now.

I made these on the spur of the moment last night. I took two silk roses apart and stamped, stamped,

stamped Parisian images on the petals. That is as far as I have gotten...more work to be done

on these.

I made most of these rosettes at one time or another

except the colored ones. I am sure you know who

made them. Yes it was Erica of Meadowstreet! Love her work!!

{ I posted this wristlet several days ago,

but am reposting it for this rosette party}

I cut the shabby trim off the top of a skirt

and made this ivory rosette wristlet.

I wanted it to be simple so all I did was add a small

muslin rosette that I had made and some tiny

vintage lace.

These white gauze rosettes are in my Etsy

store right now. I love working with this

dreamy thin fabric. No two are ever alike.

These are some of the first rosettes I ever made.

I hooked three of them together and added

some ribbon tails and a button like Erica did.

I know there are gorgeous rosettes out there

in blogland. You can see many more by

attending the rosette party today through

the weekend.

From skirt to tattered lace wristlet!

Remember this skirt that I found at the Goodwill?

I cut off the trim at the top of the skirt and

used part of it to make this wristlet.

I love the tattered look so I didn't want to add

a lot of embellishment.

I added a snippet of vintage lace and a tattered rose that I made and wa la...a wristlet was born!

I even utilized the snaps on it to fasten it together.

I am thinking now that I might make a tinier rose to

cover up the snap...but for right now,

it is what it is and I love it!

I even have enough trim left over to make one

or two more. This was a simple and fun project

that I really enjoyed!

Have a wonderful weekend! Blessings~

Frayed Rosettes Tutorial and apologies

First I want to apologize yet again for not making it

to many of your blogs! You are all so kind to leave me comments

and many times I can't leave you one . Some blogs I have no

problem at all, but others I have real problems leaving

comments on my dial up. Please know that I appreciate all

your comments and I do try to get to your blog

and leave you one as well. If you leave an email trail I do try

to get back to you that way if I can't leave a comment.

One of these days I hope to have high speed...

can't be soon enough for me. LOL

now on to the tutorial ...

Several of you have asked for the tutorial that

I found online to make these frayed rosettes

and I finally found it again.

{yes I would misplace my arm if it was not attached .lol} just click here and then click on

*download sisboomfrayedrosettes*

no two frayed roses are alike and I love that

they each have their own personality~

Just like each unique rose,

I am so glad that God loves every

one of us as individuals. He would have

died for me alone had I been the only

one on earth and that is amazing love~

enjoy and have a blessed day~

WW & tattered roses ~

a little update:

I have had several people ask me about purchasing

these hearts so I will be taking preorders and will

make them up as I get an order.

{I may even get some made ahead...lol}

the price will be 7.99 each.

the hearts meaure approx. 5.5 inches across the widest part}

Thank you!!

I love the *tattered roses*

that have been popping up here and there

lately in blogland and I was thrilled last week

when I found a free online tutorial ~

I whipped up several of them in no time at all... and added a few of them to some hearts that I had sewn up~
