The Roses Debut

—

So I’ve been making rag rose fanciness for family and friends for a couple of months now. I am tentatively ready to bring them out and share them on a larger scale and this weekend at Indie Emporium is their official debut!

Making these roses is a bit addictive. I love how spontaneous they are, you never know how a rose will turn out, but they always seem to come out nice.
I hope some of you get to come out to the show! I’m getting a few ‘first of the season’ jitters. I’m sure all will go well though, and I cant wait to see my local crafty friends! Well, better get ready for a new day of preparations….

    Oh you're killing me! Another fantastic creation!! Good luck, although it's doubtful you'll need it. I foresee you selling out of those quickly…
