NOT Just Another Mom

I decided on a whim to buy a styrofoam form while checking out our new Hobby Lobby store that just opened. I had wanted to make a quilled ornament ball for a while, but didn’t want to make just a regular ball. Here was the perfect solution!  I started out by making my poinsettia first and pinning it onto the foam shape. Then I started with the gold edging around the side.  Once I had the edging and poinsettia in place, I could fill in with the white beehive technique.  Once I finished the first side, then I started the opposite side.  It took somewhere between 5-6 hrs to complete, but I must say well worth the time and experimentation to make!  Hope you enjoy! ​ ​

December was an exceptionally busy month for me. Well, it actually started in October when I came up with an idea for some ornaments.  From that point, I was asked to make an order for 100 of them! It was a lot of work for me, but I loved every minute of it!  Here is my dining room table filled with all 100! They are bagged and ready for delivery.  In my next post, I will show you some of my other commission for quilled initials... Have a wonderful day! 

I've been so busy and it seems like Christmas has snuck up on me! I have managed to make only two things the last couple of weeks...two ornaments. The first is an ornament of about 1/4 inch with the center spiral that is a 1/2 inch. I then sprayed it with a glaze coating. I love the sturdiness of it.  The next ornament I made for a sweet friend who had twin boys.  There is pulled out cotton in the background and then the two quilled babies in front.  On the tag in the front is their names and birthdate.  Of course this ornament doesn't come apart,so it was quite the challenge to place and put everything in. Hope you like it!
