How To Make Vines Out Of Rope Hi this is the last in my series of foliage making for a while at least until I start making the farms and park. Today I am sharing how I made my vines. These vines are made exactly the way I made my flowers made with string, only difference is that these vines are made with rope and are obviously so much larger. I needed them large to fore fill the look I was after. So you will need to look through my blog and find the one that is called “How to make flowers with string and flocking”, it was written on January 15 th 2021. The only differences to making these vines is that you will use rope instead of string and when you have finished untwisting the rope to within in 2cm from the bottom you will not be spraying your rope with green paint but with burnt umber paint, (A very dark brown). Also for different effects you may want to do ivy on your walls so you will want to use green flocking instead of the autumn tones like I

                                     Gluten Free Cupcakes Made With                                         Aeroplane Jelly                                                        These cupcakes I just used a Gluten Free plain vanilla sponge recipe and then added the Aeroplane Jelly crystals to it during the mixing time and cooked as normal. Then I also added another packet of Aeroplane Jelly to a full tub of Lactose Free cream and whipped it up and putting it into a piping bag and piped it on top of the sponge cakes after they had cooled down. Then I decorated them. Everyone loved them and yes they were very yummy, I especially liked the lime flavored one but it was hard to choose. This recipe can be made for people who like their gluten and can eat wheat flours just  Substitute the Gluten free flour for a wheat flour that you use. In the photo I have used the following flavors of Aeroplane Jelly: - Lime - Lemon - Strawberry - Blueheaven I do hope you give them a try and let me know

                                    Dew Drops And Rain Drops. I love looking at the dew on the flowers in the morning and I also love watching the small rain drops falling onto the flowers pooling together and when the pool of rain drops gets to big it overflows down onto another flower, joining yet another pool of rain drops. This reminds me of how when we work together in the body of Christ, our Christian family. We come together either at Church on a Sunday. When we sit down and listen to the teaching we are being filled by the Holy Spirit, these words, and even the worship that we come together for nourishes us and when we come away we have been made stronger and filled with all that we need to go out and help others and encourage and strengthen other. Just like the rain drop coming together with the other rain drops, they come away from that pool of rain drops bigger than before, stronger that before, and the more they join with the other rain drops the bigger and stronger th

                                     Making Our Large Wire Trees There are so many very good tutorials on YouTube that might be helpful. One I found showed how to make your gum trees foliage a lot thinner and his did look like gum trees. I tried to follow him but ended up with  much thicker trees so I have named ours Oak trees which we love anyway. Thank God the people that live in Glennanburg love whatever improvements we make and add to their little valley. You will need the following items to make your wire trees: -       Wire, I just used a gauge that I found I could bend and twist easily because there is a lot of bending and twisting. -       Pliers, you may find you may need this to help twist your wire, but on the internet some men have made some tools to help make this easier. I chose to just use the pliers and my figure. -       Some leather gloves to protect your hands from getting cuts all over them from the twisting of the wire. -       Floristry Tape, I chose to use dark g

                     My Pastel Knitted Rabbit Teapot Cozy I found this pattern on “Ravelry” it was free but the lady that placed it on there has shared it to raise money for cancer and asks for a donation is all. It was very easy to make. It fitted a small teapot. I do hope you liked this little knitted teapot cozy if you have any question please feel free to leave them on the comments below. I pray that you have a blessed day. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

                      When All Our Hope And Trust Has Gone Jeremiah 14:8a Contemporary English Version You're our only hope; you alone can save us now.  Genesis 15:4-6 4  And behold, the word of the  Lord   came  to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.”  5  Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” 6  And he believed in the  Lord , and He accounted it to him for righteousness. See here in Genesis 15:4-6 God, Abba Father is promising Abraham and his wife Sarah their own baby even though Abraham was at this stage 80 years old and His wife Sarah was around 60 years old, past child bearing years. But even though Abraham laughed at this promise, he still believed God that He would come through with this promise. They waited 10 years and Sarah had given up and told Abraham to go have a baby w

                           How To Make Trees Made Out Of Rope We had collected some packets of trees on our travels over the last 10 years but when I came to making the mountain just like the flowers, weeds and shrubs I very quickly realized that we were going to need a whole lot more. I priced them online and didn’t want to pay the prices they were asking for them amount and we were going to need so many trees and not to mention the lack of variety to choose from, especially when I wanted gum trees, wattle trees, autumn trees, cherry blossom trees and just plain green trees of varying green foliage, so I decided to make my own. On the internet they show a few different ways to make the trees. But the type that interested me was ones made with string and rope, these look more do able for my first set of trees.  Here is a list of the following tools and items that you are going to need to make your own rope trees: -          String and/or rope. For the larger tree’s it is better to us
