Felt Compulsion

I have been yearning to get back to my "studio", but days go by so quickly and are filled with chores. Yesterday morning my email brought me an inspiration and a resolve to get to the studio. The inspiration craft was Martha's Felt Corsages, pictured above.
I printed out the instruction and template...but was somewhat stuck on how to decorate the bare felt leaves. So I just started pulling out stuff from drawers. A little of the silver tinsel fringe Laura sent me; some old scrap characters from a recent eBay purchase. And the lesson I learned from looking at Donna's work...More is Never Too Much.
Several fun hours later, this is my version of Christmas felt leaves corsages. Then I was ready to go back to real life.

Darn, I left a comment already. Where did it go?

I was saying that I was just reading that Martha article this very afternoon.

And that I loved the vivid orange of your workspace wall. Is the whole room that color, or just one wall?

Also, the word verification for today on your blog was 'horpunti'. Doesn't that sound like a very dirty word in Latin?
