The passage of time...
There are so many memorable things between the last post and now for me to know where to begin, so here's something recent and friendly: an embroidered cushion for a super-lovely former colleague. Kram = hugs.

reflecting silverfish
The museum I had my internship at last term had unwelcome visitors in the form of silverfish, so I made a couple silverfish broaches using plastic packaging, silver wire and a strip of reflector band.
Christmas wedding flowers
My aunt got married on December 26th, and I was, of course, only too happy to do her flowers. It was a bit of a challenge as most places were closed over Christmas, so I in the days leading up to it I bought a few freesias here, a couple orchid pots there, etc. - all sorts. She wanted white flowers with a bit of lime, but as her dress was a pale silvery grey, I added some grey tones. The bouquet handle is covered with the ribbon from a box of chocolates I got for my birthday a number of years ago... It was the same colour as her shoes.
I did flowers for the reception too, but didn't manage to take any photos of them. I used kalanchoe (höstglöd/våreld) and azaleas cut from pot plants, and was astonished at how long they lasted in the oasis. That's definitely something to remember in the future!

Four posts 2010, four posts 2011: it seems like a modest New Year's resolution to do more than that this year...!
