Brick, Fabrics, Ice Pick (Screw driver) & Lighter Equals Beeauty ~ Day 30

"beeautiful flowers for a bouquet of royal gals"

Using some unlikely things can bring you a little beeauty... these are just a few of the flowers that were sent to a group of lovely Royal gals... by just cutting something fabric, melting with a heat gun, cutting some mesh netting & burning the edges with a lighter and stitching them all together brings beefore your eyes a little flower that has nestled in the center of it a button with a crown or you guess it a bee.... How to make these were taught to me by PAM HUNTINGTON wooo hoo  (I've taken many classes taught by Pam & I loved everyone of them) I hope these lovely ladies will like what I made for them and have fun adding them to their crowns... Can't wait to see when each Royal Gal shows off their crown (this was actually suppose to bee posted yesterday but with the excitement of the car I forgot will bee posting today's right after this one)... ... ... ...

Ladies in Waiting ~ Day 29

The "Ladies in Waiting" (title of post) that I am speaking of, our the Royal Gals that will bee receiving these & an another treasure too...  I have more pictures of those items for tomorrow's blOZ too...  but wanted to give you a look of a few of the pictures that I didn't show yesterday, and yes you are correct if your are seeing one with a bee...I made my embellishment a little different than the rest... One reason is because it would have cost me a fortunate and second you guess it, because it has a bee...

Wanted to let you in on a little secret...this set of embellishments that I made ~ were made out of a golden place mat .... I cut the placemat into sections to make the front & back for each adornment...  the ruffle was made by a lovely royal gal by the name of Ann-Denise of  http://www.whimandfancydesigns.blogspot.com/   I purchase it from her a year ago but wasn't sure what I would make with it, but BINGO it was the perfect additive touch to the adornment... the paper crowns were punched from a dictionary and each adornment has an initial that was added for each gal who was in the swap to add that personal touch... a tiny little glass jewel was added to the crown for a touch of royal color...

Well I'm off to continue what I've been making for post 31...I think a fellow bee lover will bee happy to zzzzz once I am done...  but I am still bizzy making it look eggtra special for her...

Have a honey of a night ~ sweet dreams!

The Makings for a Crown for Some Royal Gals ~ Day 28

A Flower Made of Gold & Medal Made for a Royalty

I've had a crowning moment to join a jewel of a swap with a bunch of Royal Gals from near & far... Our Queen Hostess  of our swap was the lovely, talented & creative Gal by the name of Linda ...  she came up with the brillant idea of a group of us gals would get together and create embellishments for crowns ~ that we were going to make ourselves... Once we received all our jewels, precious adornments and unique treasures we are to put them on our crowns ....once done we have to put together all the adornments on the way we would like ~ we have the honor to show them off to all who want to see...  

As the treasures come to my door, deliver by the loyal postal person ~ I put them into a special bag where they will stay until I get the last one and then let the fun begin... I plan on sitting down with my mannequin & I, and for all the world of blOZ land to see and admire my crown as I open all the gifts that were gifted to me and have a cup or two of "Royal Tea"... please feel free to stop by and check to see when this Cornation will bee.. you too can sit and have a cup of "Royal Tea" with me....

Below you will see a few of the photos that I have taken along the process of making my treasures for the gals ....please feel free to leave a comment or two, to let me know what you think of them... and at the very end is a medal of honor with what else but a bee.. I will bee wearing it when the time comes... it will bee like you were at the Royal Wedding....

Have a royal honey of a night ~

The Wind Beeneath My Wings ~ My Mom

 This is a mini tribute to my "MOM" Marion Bridget (Zelek) Haveron....  As I type this the tears begin to well up in my eyes... Here it is, 43 years have past since she has left us to be with the Lord and I still have an ache in my heart that I don't think will ever go away...Yes it has lessen through the years but its still there... I know there are some of you out there in cyber space  that say move on get over it ~ well I have moved on, actually on this day 43 yrs ago I moved on but that day I had lost my childhood I grew up very fast....there was a lapse of time that just disappear the pain was unbearable but time moved on & so did my brother and I...

Here is, but a little story of the brief time that my mom had on this earth ~

My mom was born on January 11, 1942 to a young Polish couple Joseph & Wanda Zelek and was the oldest of three daughters Judy (12/1942 ~ 5/31/60) and Joanne (8/17/45 ~ 4/23/94) she was surrounded by a LARGE extended family from Babcis, aunts, uncles, cousins and more cousins... She lived in the Ironbound Section of Newark, New Jersey... she was loved by many... She was an excellent student, had top honors in High School and was the Queen of her Prom... She lost her mom at the young age of 15...

At the age of 17 she met my dad and fell in love...at the young age of 18 she was married to Thomas Michael Haveron but with this happiness came another tradgey her sister Judy passed away... Then I came along and she was a mother at the age of 18 and again at the age of 19 my brother Tommy was born... They were a perfect little family of four, but in 1963 the Lord took my father to bee with him... so at the young age of 21 she was a widow and a mother of two young children..

You see my mom was a very strong girl/woman...who went through so much before she reach the age of 22.  But she had it in her HEART that this was not going to stop her from being the perfect and most loving mom there ever was...  She was a beautiful girl with brown curly wavey hair & beautiful brown eyes & as thin as can be... She had style and she had class... She loved her dad and sister Joanne so very much and they were with her to her dying day... And she loved her Brother In Law Raymond too who she use to have coffee with and long talks... She especially loved my dad's parents Ann & John and all of her brother in laws & sister in laws too (Patti, John, Jimmy & Maryann) She love spending time with them on my grandparent's farm... and she had many friends too... she loved her pets, she loved to decorate  and BINGO too ...she took us to many places with my grandfather from Niagara Falls, to Florida to the "Land of Make Believe"... 

But you see she became sick with cancer in October of 1967 and it was only six months later that she went to be with God.... I remember vividly all the times we went to visit her in the hospital at Sloane Kettering and I can still remember seeing the Twin Towers being built as we went by to visit... I remember how at the end I was afraid of going by her because of how she look... I guess you can say I must have known she wasn't going to bee with us much longer...she tried everything that she could with the medical world so that she could spend more time here on earth with my brother & I... and yes I remember today 43 years ago like it was yesterday it's never left my memory...

So for the short time that she was here with us, she left a remarkable spot in our hearts...I know that she ia not suffering anymore and she is watching us from up above... and that her love radiates down to us...  She truly is the "Wind Beeneath My Wings" just like her sister Joanne my Auntie is to me too... Yes ~ it is true, the pain lessens but the LOVE is here to stay forever and a day...

This is all told by the memory of a little girl of the age of seven who knows that her mommy is in heaven... and she see things like a "Heart" etched in the floor of her home she knows that it was sent from heaven above to tell her how much she is loved...
