Red Silk ribbon rose and a couple drop cloth pillows.

I took the wire out of one side, singed the edges (see my post from yesterday) and used my trusty hot glue gun.

It's a little more than 4 inches across.

And an antique glass button for the middle.

I love drop cloth fabric, I used a graphic from Graphics Fairy and then I used a zig zag stitch to sew on cotton cording that is usually covered for welting, talk about cheap!

Blue Ruffles, brown silk and a drop cloth fabric rose to finish off the second one.

How cute (and inexpensive) is that!

Silk Ribbon Rose Pins

I removed the wire from one side of the ribbon and just gathered and hot glued it as I went around. I then glued it to a felt circle, and glued a pin back to it. A few beads added to the center and Voila!

On the brown rose, I removed the wire from one side of the ribbon and singed the edges with a candle.

Easy Peasy, as they say - yet beautiful!

Thursday's gardenview

Mostly green today, I love spring!

Scenes from my garden this morning...

Thank you Lord for the beauty of your creation!

Painted Dresser, Still in process

Still no hardware, I may have to paint and use what was on it if I don't find something I like better.

I really like the painted finish

Painted Dresser, preview

When Nick left for the Air Force, it left his room available for the guest room, I will post pictures of the room when it is completely done. This dresser and the nightstand have been in the bedroom for years, so I decided to jump into the painted furniture pool and try it.

It is solid wood and well made.

I should have taken the picture with the drawers in, but too late they were already on the floor. I primed it all with Kilz and then painted it a robins egg blue. I then used a dry brush with Oyster white, antiqued it and then finished it off with Poly.

I still don't have the hardware on, finished pictures to follow!
