i have been working on this next project this past week it includes these flowers

and this im not showing it all becuse its a birthday present & it wont get to the person till next week so this is all you get to see & yes its finished

while makeing these projects i started off with one price to trey to sell them for then while sewing in the flowers i had a compltley diffrent price wich was higher then i looked at it as a whole & decided i need classes & more practice before im comfortable selling them however blankets & scarfs are a differnt story
