Spring Floral Arrangement Class

We had our floral arrangement class yesterday. I call this little beauty "Springtime in the Forest."

Russ and the kids refer to it as a strange looking hat. See? It's a multipurpose creation. Whatever you want to call it, it was lots of fun to make. Our teacher, Petra, is great, and we always have an awesome time creating new things. Happy Spring!

The Little Things

I had another Floral Arrangement Class today. The theme was "Spring". I think this captures the feeling quite nicely. The candle wasn't part of the arrangement, but the color was a perfect match, so in it went. Those are live bulbs on the wreath. Soon, they will bloom into wonderful color, and my masterpiece will be complete. As always, the class was loads of fun, and I am already looking forward to the next one. It's the simple things. There is a saying by Robert Brault...Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. These are big things, indeed. And now, when I walk into my kitchen, I can't help but smile.

February Floral Fun!

Ahhh...It's that time of the year that delights young ladies and strikes fear into the hearts of men. Valentine's Day is approaching, and it's coming fast! In honor of the holiday, here is our project for this month's floral arranging class. This was my third floral class, and I must say...it's loads of fun. Our teacher is a lovely Belgian lady, who keeps coming up with amazing and unusual projects to entertain us. And she has a great sense of humor. That's always a plus when it comes to working with our group. I'm just saying...
