We've been getting rain the last few days. The worst was on Monday. It was very heavy with strong winds. It wasn't fun to drive in. I was getting ready to pull off to the side when it finally slowed down enough that I could see where I was going. There was one tree down in the road and lots of small branches. Other than that I don't know of any damage in our area.

My seasonal allergies are in full swing this week. The worst of that was Tuesday. Itchy eyes, stuffed nose, soar throat and in general just feeling blah. I love this time of year but the allergies I could do without.

And that is about all I can come up with for today.

Simple math part 2

The flowers I have today are felt instead of fabric. These are felt roses sitting on top of a felt 9 petal flower. I used glittery foam for the leaves. On the yellow one I attached silver sequins to each of the 9 petals with a french knot.  I thought it really dressed it up.

Simple math

Yesterday I spent 1 day making 4 flowers. (1 x 4 = 4)

If I show you 2 of those flowers today I have 2 flowers left for tomorrow (4 - 2 = 2)

Two for today

These were made like the fabric flower I showed you in this post  This time I cut the fabric with pinking shears instead of regular scissors and it eliminated all those strings. I did different centers on these also. One is obviously a button and the other is a small pom pom covered with felt. You'll notice that the flower on the right is smaller than the flower on the left. That would be because I failed to remember the width of fabric I used the first time around. I thought I used a 2" strip of fabric and it should have been 2 1/2 "

Mourning in the afternoon

After work yesterday I headed out to the back yard with my camera and spotted this mourning dove in the dreaded dead tree that sits just outside our property line. He was kind enough to sit and pose for me

Unfortunately the sun wasn't in the right spot and it's a bit dark.

In the front yard I took a picture of my neighbors bush across the street

Unfortunately I didn't like the car sitting in the driveway being in the picture.

Fortunately I have my photoshop elements to help me with that.
