Flower Blog - February

It's February - lover's month - ack - it's just February. Traditionally the flower to give your "lover" is red roses. Pfffffffffffffft!

Like I said in the beginning of this flower thing I would "theme" some months but that doesn't mean I'll stay traditional (because it's totally not who I am - usually)! I chose the colour red but not red roses. I wanted to be a bit more creative and use the flower that I "love" instead - gerbara daisies.

I started out with a piece of drift wood (the largest one I had left from the box of driftwood my friend Lorie gave me) and drilled two holes in it (to accommodate the plastic vessels they give you at the flower store to keep them until you get home).

When I went to drill the one hole that had to be a bit larger than the other one I broke the driftwood in half . . . ARGH! ! ! ! !

Gerbara daisy in one hole and a leaf and some berries in the other with a piece of ribbon and I think it looks pretty good (but I'd rather of had a piece of raffia and couldn't find it . . . )
