I have a miniature rose in my garden that originally was from my shop, I would put it in the doorway each morning when I opened. Anyway, it never did very well, and then I almost killed it over winter by leaving it water logged in its pot!
Well, look at it now! Blooming prolifically. I have it in vases everywhere and the bush itself is still laden!
Little bud vases.
The Princess and I went to the garden centre yesterday, I bought lettuce, she bought Petunia's! I planted them, I water them . . . petal love, mother love!
Amongst all these 'real' blooms I have been creating fabric ones. I found this tutorial sometime ago here and so in my typical fashion I fixate on one thing and start churning them out! But they are so fun to make!
I have three on offer as a giveaway as part of the One World - One Heart international giveaway. Go and have a look, amazing giveaways on offer and gob smacking talent!
If you would like to sign up for my giveaway you can do so by leaving a comment on my One World-One Heart post right here.
Have fun!
Bye for now

Whow those roses! I wish I could pop over. Here it's stormy, rainy, rainy, rainy, dark and cold! So I could use some color to cheer me up! Your selfmade ones are sooo cheery too! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteRachael, those roses are lovely. I enjoyed see the real petals and the "fake" ones! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've seen the OWOH but I have too many things going on at the moment to enter the giveaway, sweet thing. It's a worthy event and maybe I can get in next year, chickee.

Smooches,

ReplyDeleteHi Rachael,
ReplyDeletePink miniature roses always remind me of my Grandmother she had the most beautiful bush at her house in Auckland, the flowers were so tiny but perfect. Can you belive how many have joined OWOH I am still slowly trying to pick my way through all of the lovely blogs.
