Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.
It was a day to get a lot accomplished. I went to the bank, shopping, the library, gas station and then came home to clean, do laundry and organize. I am tired, but energized. You gotta love the feeling of getting things done. After an eventful day, burgers sounded like a great dinner and grilling sounded even better. There was a small problem...do you see the picture of my grill? In the wonderful winter world of Minnesota there are many things that are still buried under the massive snow drifts, my grill being one of them. Oh well, at least we have a Foreman grill, it's not the same, but what choice did I have. My new mantra is think summer!
Next topic the final felt wall hanging. It is assembled and now hanging in my living room. It is definitely cheerful and fun to look at. I have to tell you about the little hangers that I used. First of all they are reasonably priced and make hanging anything from curtains to quilts easy. These clips will not damage the item that you are displaying and they eliminate the need for sewing extra pockets or loops. I highly recommend them. The ones I used are simple, but you can also get more decorative ones. Hope you had a great Saturday, check out my blog again tomorrow!
