Just Joey....

'Just Joey' is the most beautiful rose...

I have never been a fan of orange toned flowers, but this is stunning, and has made me look at other roses in this peachy sweet tone for Mia Bella Gardens.

This week has been crazy busy for various reasons, so not much has been done in setting up the new craft room, today that is what I'll be working on...

Mia Bella Gardens is looking spectacular so I'll also be

taking some new photos to share with my blog friends.

Have a fabulous day, and I'll catch you in post tomorrow.

Handmade Heart...

Easy to make....fabric heart....

Cut a heart shape in felt and matching one in fabric. On a small rectangle of aida cloth write word in pencil, handstitch using embroidery thread.

 Your word of choice could be... baby, joy, dream, heart or whatever takes your fancy.

Sew aida onto fabric heart.

Sew fabric heart to felt heart leaving a gap for stuffing. Stuff with filler, and stitch hole. Fray edges a bit if you like.

Attach ribbon and embelishments.

Fab gifts and fun to make. 

Passion flower...

An intense orange red, passion flower blooms attract butterflies,

and the bees love them too.

This is a tropical variety of passionflower vine.

Fabric Ribbon...

Dress up a whitewashed wooden box with fabric ribbon.

Easy to make, just fray edges of a strip of your favourite fabric (Just make sure it is  long enough to go around the box and allow for a bow).

Once frayed, put around the box and tie a bow at the front.

Dahlia...

What more can I say except - simply stunning!
