Done At Last.....!
You May not believe it, Dear Readers, but I am Celebrating the completion of the Lilac Blossom Marathon that has been dominating my mini life for more than a Year! "What....?" I hear some of you crying out..."Before the milk jug bouquet is full....?" Well, I managed a Grand Finale of sorts.... above you can see the first of the Weekly Blossoms I completed this week....
Followed immediately by the second Weekly Blossom....
(For the fourth week running...)
All lined up in the blossom box and already painted...
But wait.... what are those other white florets....?
Yes, the Third Weekly Blossom was following quickly on the
tails of the second one....!
Here are the first two finished already...
Because I had decided that enough is Enough!!!
This was to be the LAST of the lilac blossoms!
Here you can See the Final Floret.....!!!
Floret number 3,264 to be exact!!!
And here is the Final Blossom....
I decided to make it one of the Doubles.....
And here you can see I have attached them to a stem....
And added leaves to the single one....
Ta Dah! Ta Done!!!
The Grand Finale Trio!!!
Oh, but You want to see them in the Milk Jug?
Here is with just the first added to last week's blossom.
And then with the Double blossom added...!
A Slightly different angle.....
And way close up.....!
Because I just want to Crow with Delight!
Here it is in the Folly Parlor....
And to prove that I did not just borrow blossoms
from the Other bouquets, you can see them too!
And believe it or not, Dear Readers,
I was also making about Fifty more of those little leaflets...
And then painting them.....
And more painting.....
And attaching them one by one
to the already attached stems on the shrub...
Until each branch had it's second set of leaves.
They will each need a third set of leaves...
still to be made and attached.
And then I will resume making the leafy branches
before attaching them to the shrub...
which will go a lot faster.
Oh, but you wanted to see the Milk Jug Bouquet
at The Lovely Old Dollhouse?
I can't say I blame you...
They do look just Perfect there in the Kitchen...
*Sigh... *
I really do believe all that work was worth it!
And Yes, I have other things to do....
Not the least of which is the next batch of leaflets...
Fifty-two pairs ready for painting...!
Well, Dear Readers,
I hope you don't mind if I leave you here...
I am off to Celebrate!
My Reward for such Endurance is A new Kit....
Because, Heavens... I surely don't have enough to do
Now that I am Done with the Lilac Blossoms!!!
