Ruffles

One theme of our products, no matter what is made, tends to be ruffles.  Mommy has always loved ruffles.  When I was little and Mommy made my dresses they were always lacy and frilly with tons of ruffles and of course I had to rumba pants too. 

 

As I was looking around at some of our projects that we are finishing up I noticed that this theme was very prevalent. 

 

I made these clay roses that range in size from a quarter of an inch to about an inch and a half… from buds to fully blown roses.  Mommy and I have many projects in mind to use these little beauties and I know that I’ll probably be making a lot more in the future.

 

I would like to venture out and make lots of different types of flowers so I’ve been looking in the only book I have that has flower making in it… a cake decorating book.  It’s really an invaluable resource.  Of course, I made all the roses without looking at how things are made but I love how they came out.  The book gave me a lot more insight into larger flowers and different flowers like sweet peas, daisies, and daffodils.  I’m pretty sure I have a few more cake decorating books in storage along with a small book specifically on making gum paste flowers, although I’ve never made them either.  It’s a talent that can lend itself to the next cake I want to decorate though.

 

As I was looking around to find more ruffles I found these ruffles on different things Mommy and I have been sewing.

 

They are everywhere I tell you.

 

Happy Sunday!!
