I am attempting a daring feat today! I will see if I can write the shortest post in LC history (GallyChops has informed me that I need to go to bed e-meediately).
I hardly crafted this weekend (3 hours was about all I could muster). I did manage to make up some taffeta and chiffon flowers that I have been admiring for decades (in dog years of course) and I wanted to share them with you real quick!!!
It was crazy easy and I did not burn down the house (which is kinda like a bonus if you ask me).
I got 1/8 of a yard of several colors of taffeta and chiffon at JoAnn's for digging in the dirt cheap (we are talking like $.30 - .75 per piece)!
I cut them into circles and used a candle flame to kinda burn the edges a little. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it - but once I had it down I was on a taffeta and chiffon edge burning ROLL!
I made up a few totally cool flowers and have plans for loads more once I have this gallbladder thing all worked out.
I found out Friday that there are in fact stones in there (the technician pointed to them and said to me "you see those there.. those are your little friends")... I think you guys make much nicer friends that that goat load of gall stones (I plan on keeping you guys around for sure!!!).
Oh yeah... O.M.T.... this past Friday - Rachel from OnePrettyThing wrote to tell me that she is currently researching methods and procedures for polishing and cutting gallstones into fine gems - so we can make necklaces and matching earrings (she's so clever). I can hardly wait!.... Saturday RonChops came up with the idea of bringing them home to use as models for needle felted renditions of gallstones. That could be cool too. I'll have to decide carefully what to do with them!
Lots more grizzly HUGS!
P.S. Bear with me until I get all this personal health stuff worked out. I'll let you guys know what's going on for sure! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
P.S.S.T. So much for the short post. hehehe
