Book Page Rosette Pomander

November 30, 2010 jennifer Paper

I am having so much fun with my old dictionary ! This pomander/kissing ball/Christmas ornament is my latest creation using book pages, and I love it!

Using trial and error (lots of errors), I taught myself how to make these rolled paper flowers.

Then slowly, slowly, one by one, I hot glued them to a Styrofoam ball. A ribbon at the top, and we’re done!

I’m thrilled with how it turned out and am now working on a wreath. It’s slow going, but totally worth it. I can’t wait to show you!

What are you making right now?

Holiday Season Dilemma

November 30, 2010 jennifer Quilting and Sewing

I’m guessing I’m a lot like you, with a list full of things that need doing, made longer by the advent of the Christmas season. It’s an exciting time and I like most of the things on that list. I want to get to them as soon as possible to allow our family to enjoy the season as much as possible, for as long as we can.

But what do you do when, in addition to these more “urgent” things, you have something like this calling to you?

The collection is “Summertime” by Barbara Jones. I’m loving the combination of colors and the strong patterns in these prints. I’m anxious to reintroduce myself to my sewing machine.
