Ribbon Flowers

Something fun to try, a little ribbon, a little paint, some embroidery floss, and permanent ink. I am not sure what this will be when it is finished, but I am thinking to frame it for something new on the wall. Big bold letters that read "WELCOME" and lots and lots of ribbon. I remembered seeing this idea many years ago at a craft shop and I thought I would try it. Funny how some things stick in your head for that long.
I have finished a few new bags for my shop and still more ideas to put together. I am wondering how ribbon flowers would look on a tote bag, I guess I will have to experiment and see.

Catching Up

Time flies when your having fun.....or not having fun? Not sure which one is right, but it applies to both I am sure.
It has been nice to see the sun shining the last couple days, after all the snow and rain we have had last month, it was nice!
I've been thinking of my blog, but it seems that when I had a few minutes to sit and write, something else came up. Three weeks ago we had a major thaw of snow and on top of that was a major rainfall. Water levels were fifteen feet above normal and rivers around us were swollen and major flooding happened. Needless to say that our basement was very wet with water pouring in and nothing we could do to stop it. This was the second wet basement since Boxing day, so I am glad it is over. A few baseboards to be redone and some furniture damage, but other than that...all is fine now.
I had a husband home sick with pneumonia and a layoff that lasted five weeks. He is well now and back to work....so things are looking up. School projects for my son seems to have been high on the list of "to do" things. I have to really wonder if these projects are for the kids or for the parents since the requirements cannot be finished by the children alone.
So now things seem to be back to normal and I have some time to do some quilting and work on my projects. My little shop is working out well, lots of ideas to be added and it all takes time to iron out the bugs with something that is new.
Thank you to all of you that sent "well wishes" by email...I am fine....just keeping busy.
