Bad hair day.


Frankie doing his usual activity of napping, woke up with messy hair.

Flowers


I've been into making flowers lately. I've been practicing my ribbon roses. I really admire georgous ribbon roses, and some of the dyed ribbons that one can buy are so luxurious but a bit pricey. But crochet thread doesn't cost much, and these crocheted flowers look so vintage.

Valentive Hearts












These hearts were my Valentine project. I made so many, it will be a while before I get them all embellished. Frankie wasn't very interested.
