Silk Rose Tutorial...

So, I admit it. As Madelyn Kahn said in Blazing Saddles,
"I'mmmm tireddd".
It's been an exciting week, and tomorrow is the big day,
but a promise is a promise...

I promised a silk rose tutorial for you. Yesterday, I photographed my process for you, but soon I'll do a video tutorial which will help anyone who has trouble with my photo version.

All you have to do is click on the photo to go to my Flickr album tutorial.
Please comment if you have any questions or need any clarification.

Today is the big day!
It's my brother's 51st birthday...
our daughter-in-law, Jessica's birthday,
(of course, I won't give away her age!)
and also
We're celebrating a beach wedding today!!!

If you come back tomorrow, I'll share photos
of the bride and groom, some of the festivities,
as well as family and friends who
are here to honor and bless their union.

Happy Birthday, Lydell and Jessica!!!

An Upcoming Silk Rose Tutorial And Family...

Remember these silk roses?
When I shared this photo with you a little while ago, I was asked if I'd
do a tutorial on how to make them. Mine are made from
silk charmeuse fabric, but you can use any fabric or ribbon.
I was thinking tomorrow might be a good day to share my technique.
Come back and I'll show you just how they're made.
More family arrived to celebrate. Dinner on the lanai, lots of giggling and
reminiscing. Being thankful for miracles large (healing from cancer)
and small (seeing each other again after many years).
And the party rolls on!
