May I Present:The Mini Rose

I’ve managed to take my roses and make them 1/4 of the size to create a mini rose.  They are a bit difficult to create because they are so small, hurts my fingers a bit, but I think they are so cute!  I’ve turned these into a magnet set, which I need to create an Etsy listing for tomorrow, but I also want to use these for some hair clips, wedding favors, and a few other ideas I have.  More to come on those!

I finished the roses yesterday and left them drying on my coffee table.  I planned to curl them, dissect them from their wire and glue them to the magnets.  Instead I came down stairs to find someone had stolen 2 of my mini roses.  Below is the condition of my first blue rose…the purple rose I have yet to find…

The Motivation Train is Still Going Strong!

It’s Monday – the worst day of the week – and I haven’t had a lot of energy to do much today.  Work was really busy today, I had a sick kitty throwing up all over my apartment to clean up after and a virus infected PC that has had me worried.  Through all that, the hubby and I had decided yesterday that we would be good and do business productive things each night this week.  So, after watching our 25 minute Entourage while we ate dinner, it was to the office to be good.  If we stay that way through the night, we treat ourselves to watching True Blood at the end of the night (fingers crossed cause I LOVE that show!).

One item on this week’s long to-do list?  Pew clip.  Back in JANUARY I bought a bunch of wedding supplies from a floral supplier in the hopes that I could create all sorts of new items specifically for weddings or special events.  I took the pew clip out right away but found that I didn’t have enough flowers to fill it and so it sat in the closet ever since.  Now that I have a bunch of flowers from creating the Pomander I thought I might finally have enough.

The clip is much like the pomander except flat on the backside.  The clear clip is long and wide which allows for easy hanging from just about anywhere.  I think it turned out great!  Check out the photos below and see it listed on Etsy.

New Product!

And the motivation train keeps on going!  After many attempts, I’ve finally gotten my rose pomander finished.  I created a new listing you can check out on Etsy and here are some photos.  This 2.5 inch ball turned into an 8 inch pomander containing 20 rose heads.  I think it turned out great and would be amazing for parties and weddings.  I’m not sure if people will be willing to pay the high price for them (20 roses is about 11 hours of work to create), but here it is!
