Green thumb optional

I'd been thinking about making some fabric flowers.  Maybe a nice arrangement for the dining room table....where we hardly ever eat because we now have an island and two bar stools.  I know it's not the most proper way to dine, but at least Mr. Gadget doesn't notice when I dribble soup down my chin.

This is my first attempt.  While it's not great, I can see possibilities.

And it gives me confidence to garden even though I wasn't born with a green thumb.
