Drowning In Paper Flowers!

Not that I'm one for melodrama! If only I was drowning in paper flowers, then I would know that I'd made enough. This week has seen me completing another 101 flowers to add to my collection! 

 I have been folding up paper squares ready to trim into pentagons.

 I have folded up squares into individual petals.

What little brides are made off. I should point out, I'm not little, or trying to be, and this image doesn't show the Green and Blacks, the Fudge, or the Hotel Chocolat chocs that also saw me through the week. :)

 The trimmed pentagons.

 The individual glued petals, in piles of five, ready to be made into flowers! 

 Doesn't look like there is 101 there does it? Well there are, I counted! 

Hobbycraft stash! Some people walk away from Hobbycraft and you know that they are going to embark on a quilling project, or paint a model plane. Not us, we are those people that buy an incoherent selection, you just try and guess what we are making! 

This Week... Pretty Presents & Chocolate Pancakes

This week... I spent some time with two of my favourite ladies and Gayley gave me my pretty bridesmaid present - super cute right? I spent a lazy Sunday with Fubby, I made us chocolate pancakes because that's just how we roll. I've spent A LOT of time, measuring squares, cutting out squares and folding squares into petals, eventually these will be, yes you guessed it, wedding flowers - folding paper is my whole life right now :) My ginger has suddenly put a spurt on. You may remember I had a bit of ginger in our kitchen that looked like it wanted to grow so I put it in a pot. Nothing happened for ages and I mean ages! I was on the verge of throwing it away as a lost cause, but then found, after rummaging around and prodding the soil a bit, a tiny green point coming through. It stayed the same tiny shoot for about three weeks, I thought it might be done, but then this, alright, it's still only small - but it is kind of huge too. I've also been organising, unfortunately I wasn't organising my own life (if only), I've been organising more titles to be sent out for review for UK Handmade.

This Week... Bending Bark, Baking Bread & Books

This week we were attempting to unravel some rolled up bark... Fubby made some rather wonderful bread, for us to scoff with out baked camembert... Team Bevins Johnson made brown paper flowers - I cut the squares and the pentagons, and he is some kind of origami ninja! A new book arrived ready for review. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
