Can we ever tire of Pansies! Yes

Remember the picture of the pansy petals drying on the cookie sheet from a few days ago? Here's what they turn into...click the picture to see them bigger! I decided to try a black background for them this time instead of using white. I like the look so far.

I am getting to the point of getting weary of looking at pansies though. I've made a lot this year ... more this year than any other year that I've made them.

Every spring I make them until I get so tired of cutting and dyeing those petals, I have to put the pattern away and stop until the next spring. I have to be able to enjoy making them so it's best to quit before HATE sets in! I still need to cut and dye about 5 more pansies to make into pincushions and then I'll put that pattern away until next year.

I'm experimenting with making wool roses now. I don't grow roses and don't really know much about them so I have to rely on web pictures for the colors and shapes.

gots to go ... the grandson has arrived!
Happy day everyone!

GO PENS!
