an update

so, i was thinking on Friday or maybe thursday that it would be really cool to knit some plum blossoms as a signature. then i thought it'd be really cool to knit flowers, actual flowers, buttercups, roses, calla lilies, plum blossoms, morning glories and make them look like the real flower. i could sell them as pins or broaches or whatever you call those and advertise purses and hats and scarves and wraps with those flowers on them - BUT sell them seperatly for like $7 a piece.

and then it would be like well, there was a lot of thoughts flying around in my head after that: i coud make things for these pins to go on that were like nature - like the dark brown purse i'm making reminds me of tree branches and then i was going to make a ittle blue bird to go with it. but what about like sand and sea shells or sand and desert flowers. or greens for grasses and leaves with pretty, bright beautiful renditions of different flowers. i've wanted to make a spanish lace purse with a kind of honey color and make bouganvilla flowers for it. and then i bought yarn that looks so much like birch bark and i could put on some kind of flower that grows near birch bark.

i could even do deep blue mountains with an acorn.

nature has endless beautiful flower and calm colored back ground combinations. my options are endless.

then i tried to make a plum blossom. it looks almost just like a hibiscus. which, one day, will be handy to know how to make. just not today. but i have a nice white one now.

so, i'm still finishing the brown purse and havn't started on the blue bird. and i bought stuff to make my own wood-beaded handles, which frankly, i'm afraid of because they may not work. BUT i should be able to get the majority, if not all of my money back for the materials. which would be aweosme, if it doesn't work out.

so - that's where i am. finishing the purse, worrying about the handle and contemplating the make up of a plum blossom.
