Life is like a box of...

Wow, what a crazy week! We have had a surprise visit from my husband's wonderful family for his 40th, a cyclone, there has been a devastating earthquake in Christchurch, we have all been sick with nasty colds and now my youngest has a nasty case of... well it isn't very nice and involves lots of dirty nappies!!!

However in amidst this madness, I have managed to make a few new flowers, receive some of my skinny elastic that I have been eagerly awaiting from the States and hey presto, some new Bella Blossoms have been born! I am currently working on a Juliette flower using a Snazziedrawers design. It has been a bit fiddly. Also I have a box of rolled flowers, and Isabella flowers awaiting their final designs. I am just working through the final designs in my minds eye!! Hoping to try a few out over the next few evenings.

So, I said life is like a box of... well I have been storing all my recent flowers in an old tin box that used to be a biscuit box as it is nice and big. It looks like a delicious box of ...Roses. Yummy! Some of these flowers would make gorgeous headbands for adults. If anyone saw the recent MKR, I noticed that a lot of the headbands the ladies were wearing are very similar to my creations. Perfect for anyone attending the Hedland Rotary Ball (notice the blatant salesperson pitch!)

In the meantime Isabella is getting first drafts of the flowers and her headband collection is getting larger and she is loving it and wears a new headband with each outfit! I am even "borrowing" some of her headbands as they are cute and suitable for Mum to wear too!!!  I am hoping that we are all better next week so I can get on with sewing but my lovely husband is off on a business trip so it may be a little crazy around here again (just for a change!).
