Garden Roses

I’m listening to a sermon by Pastor Michael Todd and he’s talking about being marked by God.

A fleeting thought passed my mind. I feel more ‘marked’ when I look at these roses than the past 6 years in service as a whole.

I always say I'm so in love with the flowers... But it's cuz I really am! Especially when I chance on something else beautiful and it produces something like that 😍 . Of course what's online are usually the highlights. As 'vulnerable' and 'authentic' as I want to be on this online photo log of mine, I only curate the best of those 'real' moments to post cuz there's people looking. . All the real work and real challenges faced are shared over real conversations with the real people who real-ly understand. . For every successful sweet pea, there would've been tons of icky tape and misshapen or torn petals that only I'll get to see. #lifelessonsfrompaperflowers 🤣

Challenged myself this june to take on a 100-piece peony assignment with a deadline that I'd usually reject. I've finally delivered them and gonna take a break from red fingers, dry hands, hot glue burns and almost-sleepless nights! Sometimes, slogging away on something can be quite fun --- that is, when it pushes limits and contributes to mastery 🌼 . Handiwork is tedious and the blooms simply can't be rushed. Nothing beats flowers sculpted by hand. Ok many things do --- but right now, nothing. 🤣 . Love that @roidepaix constantly thinks out of the box and this time, LITERALLY, in coming up with an effective solution for packing the blooms. 👍😅🤟

Cancelled lessons so today's a full flower-making day (while watching loads and loads of Friends) 🤣

A different kind of 'paperblooms' today 😍

Rereading (relistening?) Brene Brown's Rising Strong. I'm constantly amazed at how she articulates her findings. What seems like common sense just isn't that common. How many times have I made up stories in my head whenever something that makes me uncomfortable happens? Yet time and again, I rely on those made up stories to guide my reactions and replies, and dictate my thoughts for the day, week or even month. . . "At least once a week, one of us will need to say, “The story I’m making up is..” It’s not hyperbole to state that it has revolutionized the way we deal with our conflicts. Even with as much as I understand about the power of emotion and as many years as we’ve been together, I’m still surprised by how many of our arguments are intensified by the fabrications we tell ourselves. What starts as a small disagreement about an unimportant issue becomes a fight over wrongly assigned intentions and hurt feelings." - Brene Brown, Rising Strong

Pink and yellow peonies :):):) #paperbloomssg

Punch needling ❤ I love that I get to do this just for the fun of it - with no purpose, and no use for a punched piece. I used to be overcome with immense guilt for not doing work whenever I could find spare time on weekends. In between church services, while waiting for the busy husband, or even before heading to dinner. I'd have to grab whatever scraps of time to mark, do lesson plans, or whatever other work tasks I could squeeze in... Just so that the weekdays will be more manageable. But I'm proud to say now that I'm officially guilt-sober for about a year now. AND I'M LOVING IT.

Haven't nailed down exactly what to do with all these for the upcoming valentine's day and cny. Too many ideas jumbled up in the hydrangead brain. Gotta slowly weed them out.. But for now it's on the shop as loose florets and mini hydrangea 🤣 how original... . . . . . #paperbloomssg
