Felt flowers

The kids and I went to see the spring plants at the Botanical Gardens the other day, but they enjoyed the lily pond most of all. Gazing at goldfish never gets old, it would seem. 

All those gorgeous lilies, combined with the spring flowers outside the greenhouse, inspired me to make some more pins from felt. These are some new pieces, made from coloured wool felt with vintage buttons and a bit of embroidery. 

I will be teaching a workshop on making felt pins here in early December- I will write more about that soon.

And here is an upbeat and slightly addictive song by Cat Power to start off the weekend.
