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.

Payment received
I can't decide if the last couple of days I have been busy or lazy. Working takes up a big chunk of the day and then there is the usual daily routines. Sometimes it doesn't leave much time left to fit in other things. It was a good thing that Gibbs was kind enough to fill in for me when I didn't feel like blogging. I'll have to work on teaching him how to leave comments too.
Just so you know that his efforts were appreciated I wanted to let you know that I bought him an extra box of biscuits, a new toy and he has a clean canvas for his nose art in the living room.
He was gracious enough to thank me by dragging grass from the fresh cut lawn through the living room and all over the couch. Such a thoughtful gentleman.
