Latest journal :-)

Good morning everyone ~ Hope you had pleasant weekends and that the coming week will be good.

Yesterday morning I had plans to get a sheet of paneling, but had said to God “if it’s ok with you”. Well, obviously it wasn’t, because a little while later I stumped my toe next to big toe on left foot, and it hurt like heck, swelled a little then turned a shade of purple. I laughed right out loud and said, alright, this is my answer, stay home. So I did.  I put an essential oil blend called Pan-away on the toe, and in a little bit the major pain was gone, but I couldn’t really bend it.  I’m happy to report that my toe feels pretty good this morning, and is bendable.  I can’t tell you how many times in my life that I have stumped those toes right next to my big toes.  They are a bit longer and that could be why. Someone recently told me that Pisces are always stumping their toes, I don’t know if that’s true or not, but it is with this particular Pisces.

I did a little weeding in my St. Francis garden hobbling and stepping lightly, then hand watered things.  Later I got the idea to make some ribbon roses with the ribbon sent to me by Nicki, of Ravioli Dreams. Lovely ribbon and nice to work with, thank you Nicki.

I looked at you tube videos yesterday, and oh my goodness, I am such a novice and have much to learn.

These are what are called ‘spider web’ roses. Relatively easy and so much fun to make.

After making the three roses, one thing led to another and it eventually became another little journal. I don’t know how many hours I worked on this, but it was sheer delight I can tell you that.  This one will be going to the widow’s meeting this morning, Friends Needing Friends, as I want to donate it for the raffle they have every month. 

I used a piece of antique lace that I had in my stash, as a border around the piece.

I would have printed out more flowers and verses, but my printer needs ink.

This is what my workspace looks like now,

my computer desk is piled high too.

That’s it for now.  I’ve got to eat breakfast and get ready to head off to meet my new friends.  This is my third meeting with a bunch of lovely widow ladies.

Have a lovely day ~ FlowerLady
