My beautiful dancer! So proud of Caitlin. She worked very hard at dance this year, and it shows!

A friend commissioned these pink peonies a while ago. Someone needed a birthday present so I finally let go of the rest of them. They were making me happy for quite some time. I guess I need to make more now!

Hope this day finds you cool. We are trying to stay cool with the kids at the pool, but even that is almost unbearable.

Here’s a project I was commissioned to do. I’m so happy with how it turned out!

I’ve been neglecting my social media lately. I need to post some more. Here is a project I did in May. These were for a wedding. More to come.

Walked by some yellowing ginkgos the other day. Went straight home and made them!

My mini me. Both my girls love to try to make flowers when they can. So Caitlin made this for a friend’s birthday. I helped with the fringe and hot glue, and that’s about it! She did a great job!

It’s fun to play with different flowers when you have them all together. These are from different orders, but I think they look fun together! I’m trying to learn more about arranging, and it says to explore. So, that’s what I’m doing! #314

My go to color is rarely orange so this was a fun one to make.

Something about irises. They are just so pretty. And I’m loving this new color of 90gram from . It’s called Perfvinca azure. #314

Parrot tulips. These were fun to make. Will definitely be doing these again in some different color variations.

Double tulips. Clearly not in a fall mood at all. Maybe one of these days I’ll make a sunflower or dahlia, but they are in bloom so I can enjoy those outside. I can’t find tulips right now, though.

Fall is coming, but who doesn’t love a daffodil. These past 2 days, I’m really feeling autumnal. Football, cooler weather, acorns all over my front lawn. It was a hot summer so these temps are welcome, but I’m still not ready for summer to end. #314

Taking this Sunday to clean my workspace and get my creative juices flowing. I got the opportunity to make some new flowers last weekend, and I’m excited about this one. I used Jessie’s book from - Paper Flower Art. These clematis are a wonderful addition to any bouquet. What a great filler, but they could also be a spotlight. They can climb up a piece or hang down low.

Someone asked me to make a butterfly so I got the book Crepe Paper Blooms, Bugs and Butterflies by because I had no clue where to start with a bug. I admired it, and then summer came- along with a new 4-legged friend. So, the book was put down for a bit. Then, asked for 2D butterflies for a project she is working on. I decided to still go with paper, and I used the book with some alterations to make it 2D. I love how it turned out and can’t wait to make some 3D!

This is a wonderful book! I love how it has a lot of photos to help show how to do things!

It’s been a minute or 2. Life throws a lot at you sometimes, and right now is that is certainly true. I knew I’d have to slow down this summer sin e the kids are home, but we also have a new 4-legged addition to the family! Meet Olivia “Benson”! We are calling her Benson. Having a puppy is similar to having a baby, but it’s easier than twins😉. While I’ve slowed down, I’m happy to still take orders, but know that it’s going to take a bit longer than normal. Happy summer!

How’s everyone doing out there? We can’t seem to escape every illness that we come in contact with. I sent my kids to school today back in masks to avoid all of it for the last 2.5 weeks of school. So tired of the germs! The constant change in weather isn’t helping.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! My husband gave me the best gift he could today- he asked me if these are real or fake. ❤️ The answer is mostly real, but a few sprigs of paper in there. Enjoy!

And happy Mother’s Day to the best 2 moms/grandmothers around! and Ginny Weale! We love you so much!
