Christmas Promotion Over $300 in prizes

I've just joined a group called Connect2mums and they're having a christmas promotion.





All you have to do is shop at any of the stores with the Connect2Christmas pink banner (before 18 December), list your purchases at the Connect2Mums Christmas Promotion group and you go into the prize draw to win over $300 in prizes! Every item purchased has an entry in the draw.

I have one of these banners on my site Flower Cove. Have a look.

Crystal Bouquet

I've now finished the crystal bouquet I was making. It was a lot of work with the super long stems that then had to be bent upwards. But I think it looks great.

I've made it with 200 stems, but even more would be great.

Latest Beaded Wedding Bouquet

This is the arrangement I came up with after making beaded flowers for a customer to add to her wedding bouquet. In the end she used all of my beaded flowers and some other crystals and things. It was an amazing arrangement, and I'll post a blog about that another time.

I've used almost all the same flowers and stems I made for her arrangement, and there are nearly 60 stems all up in this arrangement. I've used tulle in the arrangement, for the collar, and for the handle. I've then done a clever wrapping technique with satin ribbon around the handle.

Beaded Flower Bouquet

I've finished a beaded bouquet that has three roses in different stages of development, a bud, a medium rose, and a fully opened rose. There are small beaded flowers around it, and there's a red ribbon to finish off. The roses are all done in a lovely pink shade, and each one has a set of calyx leaves, and a few larger leaves on the stem. Each stem is wrapped in floral tape.

Free Cross stitch patterns

I've discovered a wonderful site for free cross stitch patterns.

CROSS STITCHERS CLUB

These patterns could also be used for bead work. The smaller ones, or parts of the larger ones would be great for square stitch and loom work.

There are some amazing patterns.
