Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

What if plants had no purpose? How would we survive? Wearing oxygen mask?
Well, Cherry,  a nature enthusiast who loves talking to her plants knows that they provide oxygen and if everyone would cut trees, pave their gardens and build skyscrapers in the place of trees we would turn into grey mindless human dead bodies.
This Valentine's day my mum got a red rose so I created a vase out of a wine bottle. I decorated it with recycled paper and Mod Podge. I found it exciting because I hadn't planned the design, the colours could have gone all in the wrong place causing a big catastrophe.
I was satisfied with the finishing look and most importantly,  I am very happy that I learnt how to care about the world.

If Seeds Could Talk

If Seeds Could Talk


- Hi there, are you glad you are out of the package?

- Yeah, much better on soil. Feels like home in here.

- When do you think you're growing your stem?

- Soon, but how will I scare the slugs away? I don't want to be eaten.

- Neither do I, but must be part of nature.

- You're so pessimistic! I'm sure we can survive, look at the flowers next to us.

- I guess you're right. Mother nature must be on our side.

M*O*N*T*H*S   L*A*T*E*R

-OH! Your pointy petals are double coloured and your stem is fine and delicate.

- And look at yourself! You're the prettiest rose I have ever seen, with scarlet petals.

- But what are the thorns for?

-hrummmmmm

Despite my fear of bees, I'm going to grow some flowers at home this spring! Watch this space!

Mod Podge

                                   Mod Podge

This is my quick update for the vanity tray I promised you.

I finally received the Mod Podge through the post. It's very much like normal school glue, but with a sealing capacity , so I can apply on top of the collage I did on the cereal box (check out the Upcycling post @ http://chelsearabello.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/upcycling.html ).  I also used on my vanity tray ,       which you can find how I made it @ http://chelsearabello.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/vanity-tray-hello-and-welcome-to.html and on a book cover that I've just decorated with washi tape and some drawings.

Chelsea in Bloom

                                                     Chelsea in Bloom

Hello and welcome back

Have you ever wondered what it's like to walk through millions of flowers?

If you have, why not consider going to Chelsea in Bloom? (http://www.chelseainbloom.co.uk)

I have never been there but I hear lovely things about it. Apparently, it's a competition of breathtaking floral displays that shop owners adorn their shop fronts.

I am scared of getting stung by a bee, though.

Throughout the pictures I've seen on the internet, I wish to be able to design flower arrangements at that high standard and which are bee

proof!

My DIY for today is floral themed too. I find all flowers pretty, and when a few flowers are put together, their colours can transmit emotion, just like a song!

To make this DIY all I needed was:
A jar
Spray paint
Artificial flowers (bee proof!)
And a ribbon

Spray paint the jar and let it dry overnight.
After dry, thread the flowers through the ribbon
and wrap it around the jar.
When you have finished, place the jar anywhere you like!





I hope this room decor will bring lots of happiness to your home.
See you next time!
