Jenny and Jen...

about time you say....

well, its only 6 months into the year and this is the first post on this poor neglected blog. Jenny and i have talked about it and today while i was making fabric flowers for my scarves i thought i would do a tutorial.....its on the fly and the light was bad, [its been a very grey day], the camera batteries were dying and its hard to photograph on your own sometimes, especially where hot glue is involved...

but i got there in the end.. with some doctoring in Picasa....:)


i have been making flowers for scarf necklaces but also to use as brooches. [i put one on a long chain and loved it as necklace too...] but they take too long to cut out and make so i came up with this idea...much quicker and i like the fluffiness of them.... ;)

ive made final pic lighter [i used black fabric] so you can see the fluffys properly :)

This Tutorial belongs to Pink Possum blog and you are free to use for whatever purposes, just give us a link back please, ....


PP Fabric Flower Tutorial.
You will need fabric that doesnt fray , like a net or knit fabric for your main fabric.......as well as some tulle or net to give it some stiffness.... you probably only need a scrap of each about 20cm strip each...very economical too... make sure you have plenty of glue sticks and BE CAREFUL....keep a bowl of cold water handy in case you do get burnt finger ...ouch!!













i'll come back tomorrow and show you my finsihed scarves...

Snowman reveal...

This is what you have been trying to guess, my snowman jars...


Congratulations to Jan to for guessing correctly :)

i loved the ones in CPS magazine and thought this year i would give it a go....




what do they call a group of snowmen? a gaggle? a flock? a parliament would sound good but thats taken too..:)

now im off to meet my lovely friend jenny and go to The Square Sat market .....fun !

Here is another clue.....

She is a tricky one... our Jen... and I have to tell you what Jen is making is incredibly gorgeous and glittery... she is going to post another pic after work tonight but she said to give another clue.... Jan just posted this...

OMG this is sooooo hard!
Mmmmm an angel in a jar?!

Jan, you are so close.... Sooooo.... my clue is... it is not an angel but it does have something to do with a jar... the pic tonight will give it away for sure.... so if you don''t have an idea yet... stay tuned for that :))
