Crafting Space

Generally, when I am making flowers, I do one variety at a time. This means my working space can be somewhat contained and I usually manage to scrounge out enough space in my office for whatever needs doing. However, this month I have been taking an on-line class that started out working on 5 flowers at once. That means 5 different kinds of petals, 5 different stamens, 5 different leaves, etc., etc. To make it more unwieldy, I didn’t make just 1 of each flower, I actually ended up with 3 tulips, 4 cosmos, 4 clematis, 8 cosmos, and 7 stems of sweet peas with 7 flowers per stem.

This amount of materials and equipment was just not capable of fitting in my little office space. So here’s what the kitchen/dining room counter has looked like for 2 weeks:

I finished up all the pieces yesterday and was able to get my counter space back. Today I hope to finally assemble the flowers.
