Chiffon Poppies

I am hoping that none of my roommates come home before I can clean up the mess I have made in every single room of my house. My bedroom was already a mess, so I decided to cut up fabric in the living room.  In between cutting fabric and assembling flowers, I have been painting in the bathroom and melting fabric in the yard. Oh, and the mochas I have been making in the kitchen.  

My point, however, is that I feel good about today. I took some photos this morning in the park (an attempt to shoot hdr, which try as i might, i can not master.) About 30 minutes after sunrise the clouds took over the blue sky and I had to admit defeat. I got only one semi-decent image out of the ordeal; which initially made me feel like today might not be so productive.

After that, I cruised around youtube for a while and watched some vlog brothers videos, and then decided to actually sit down and figure out this flower problem I have been having.

First attempt at a chiffon poppy... Not as horrible as I might have guessed. Although I will be the first to admit my sewing skills are rather rusty.

More to come later. Maybe paper flowers, maybe more fabric, who knows?

On a completely different note, did I ever mention that I finally got my ring back from the jewelers? Here is a pic in case you are interested. This was taken before I got it sized down, so it is much more snug now.
