Mother's day is coming...

for a sweet mom, originally uploaded by offgenemi.

Stefan and I have to think about Mother's day a bit earlier than other people since both of our mothers are an ocean away from us and we try and arrange flowers to be delivered to them on time. We never get to se what got delivered :)
recently a nice customer asked me if I can make some flowers with stem to put in a vase. So I made some, dont they look pretty? these flowers never wilt, also they dont have any pollens :) I live in Florida and this long winter (in FL standards) caused all oaks varieties to pollinate at the same time and we are having a lot of trouble with the pollens. So I appreciate these pollen-less flowers :)
cheers

mizuhiki knot

mizuhiki knot, originally uploaded by offgenemi.

I got some mizuhiki cords to make some butterfly tsumami kanzashi, but the cords came with some instructions to make a knot and I couldnt hold myself :) and made a bunch, the colors are vibrant and making them is a lot of fun, now I have to find an excuse to make more :) I guess they would look pretty in scrapbook page.
cheers
