paper passion

for my paper posie quilled flowers lots!!

I enjoy making these quilled flowers and often find myself

losing track of time when I do get the chance

to sit down and get involved.

Before I know it I have a pile of blooms before me and kids that still are in need of clean laundry.

Quilling.

Laundry.

Hmmmm... I know what I'd rather do.

While we're on the subject of creating instead of doing chores-

I have been getting the urge to

make paper again soon.

You know...with the blender and the sloppy slurry of pulp?

What a completely horrible absolutely fun

mess that adventure is!!

Have you ever made paper or done any quilling?

Isn't it amazing how much paper is a part of our everyday lives=
both practical and creatively?!
Even though many paper required processes are being replaced
by the computer revolution,
I do not think I could live without my paper passion for creating.

old movies

We recently watched this movie again. I think Audrey Hepburn movies are fun. And have you ever seen a smaller waistline than hers?


That dress is really something too. I found myself studying it for the first time even though I have seen the movie several times over. It is very striking and makes your eyes want to follow the unusual dress pattern with it's bold, crisp design.
I wonder if the dress was stuck in my subconscious when, just days later, I chose this piece of scrapbook paper to use for a background when I listed this item in my shop? Kind of similar in the black swirling effect against the white , don't you think?


Then we watched this movie over again too, last weekend.
My kids like watching old movies.
We had popcorn and a fire in the fireplace. Days like that are fun!
