I like to read other people's blogs everyday, however, I don't have enough to post about right now to do one everyday. But...now I have something to post. This is the reason I have been MIA reading blogs because of this......
All these flowers have to be turned into bridal bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and arrangements before we leave April 1. (That is not all of them ) I have all the boutonnieres done, so that is a relief. I always start with them because they are the simplest and it gets me into the mood. I did get Meredith's flower girl basket done. I just buy a basket from Goodwill and then buy satin material and cover it. I usually cover oval baskets as they are easier but I had to go with a round one this time because of the size, it had to be small because Meredith is so tiny. It sure gave me fits I was ready to scream. It isn't as perfect as I usually strive for but Hannah likes it so that is all that is important. So here it is....

| This is her color Cornflower Blue, and we are adding just a hint of light yellow in the bouquets. |
Here is where I am laboring for hours :) it looks a mess but I know where everything is so I can reach for it and there it is.

| See the picture of the little pine tree in the snow above my desk. I took that in Colorado in the mountains. I remember how cold it was....brrr. Like it is here right now. |
Then this is funny. Look at all those little clay pots I have to decorate. 40! That should keep me busy until Spring. Ha Ha...
I love doing all the decorations. I did our oldest daughter's too and then a year ago I did a wedding for our friend's daughter. It is exciting seeing all your creations on such an important day for a young couple.
So there it is the reason I am missing on the blog circuit. If I don't comment you know why. I should be able to squeeze in a little reading time though. As we are done with the house pretty much, except the garage which won't be bad. We are almost there.......2 months and counting..........
Best wishes from Thorntown, IN.
Sounds like you are moving right along. The basket is very pretty. I'm soooo far behind on blog reading, I don't know when I'll find the time to catch up! Have fun with the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThank you I'm glad you think so. Yes, I'm doing better than I thought I would be a week ago. Shopping for everything takes so much time.
Deleteaw cornflower blue! love that color... 40 clay pots? Be interesting to see what you do with them!
ReplyDeleteLike your work area too ...fun and creative
Well I will be interested to see what I come up with too. Yes, the cornflower blue is very pretty. My work area is a desk I have had since I was a little girl. Hannah will inherit it I guess.
DeleteWow. I didn't know you did flowers. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I do flowers, and really enjoy it. My Dad's Mother was so talented in so many areas I guess I inherited it from her. But my Mom was a great seamstress.
DeleteYou are very crafty and have a lucky daughter to benefit from this.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. One thing is it sure saves on money not to hire a florist. And I suppose more special made by "Mom"
