Pretty flowers
WIBW is late this week, not because something wasn’t bought but because the purchased item was misplaced. But it has surfaced:
I love these fabric flowers, and they come with jeweled brads for their centres. Who can look at these bright colours and not be happy? Certainly not I!
These would brighten up any card, or they could be arranged in a cluster at the corner of a photo if you’re scrapbooking. I see these being used on yellow or black paper; the colours would really “pop”. And one day, instead of talking about how you could use them, I promise to actually use them and let you see what I’ve come up with.

The biggest obstacle to crafting has been time, and this obstacle remains. Between my two jobs (one full time and one part time) and other obligations, I come home drained and want to do nothing more than sit in front of the computer screen, reading about other people’s lives, barely taking it in but just vegging. Or, I like lying down with a good book, an inspiring or motivating book, then promptly falling asleep the moment I crack it open and read a few words. That’s been happening a lot lately.
Needless to say, it is hard to create when you’re weary, and it’s even harder to get “unweary” when the same routine keeps happening day after day. But before you lose all hope, a lovely day is upon us: Valentine’s Day!
So, Happy Valentine’s day to you! If you need some last minute crafty ideas, may I point you to Martha Stewart? She’s got some beautiful things up that you must see. Enjoy!

I love these flowers. I snagged some at Joanns and have been using them in my jewelry non-stop!
