Cottage & Family:
tattered roses

What do we do when it is
104 degrees out and too hot
for pretty much anything else ?

We make a gazillion
tattered roses because
they dry in about 5 minutes :)

The HOT sun comes in very
handy for drying stuff fast!

The poor hydrangea blooms in
the background are on
their last leg ~ It
is funny to me when in
blog world I am seeing
some people just now
picking peonies and
my hydrangeas are almost
dried on the bush ~

We will be tea staining
the world tomorrow
and our backyard will
look like a big giant
drying rack :)

I was so very excited last night to get to meet

Dawn in person ! It is funny how we meet people through

blogs and then when we get to meet in real life it feels

like we already know each other ~

She is visiting Lisa and so last night Lisa, Dawn, Pat and I got

together just to chit chat for awhile before they were off

on their weekend of adventure ~

I have had company this week so haven't been

doing a whole lot of creating but the bug has gotten

me really badly !

One thing that I did was play around with Citra Solv

and printing images ~ it is soooo cool and washable which rocks !!

I just love the faded worn look that it gives ~

I was also trying different techniques for tattered roses

and really had fun making those too ~

The roses are on bags that I sell and the bags and pillows

are on my website too ~
