A Crymson Life

Peridot plus 2

Some times a girl just needs some wine, and some days she just needs a beer. Monday was a wine night, Chris and I polished off one of the few remaining Owl Creek wines. Yesterday was a beer night. I worked late, didn’t feel like cooking, its been a wacky week so we went to BWW for wings and tall beers. Nothing special or flavorful…just a nice 23oz glass of beer while sitting outside on a nice spring day. It was glorious!

I also worked on uploading some pictures of new bouquets! This is Peridot Blossom. I really love this flower and it gets a lot of attention. Even BE spotted it when it was pictured in the piles on my assembly line. Something about the colors just glow and really the pictures don’t give the sparkle this flower emits justice. The fun yellowy green sparkly beads were a real treasure to find, and I wish I had bought more. They are a 3cut bead of yellow-green glass and lined in pink to give the unusual color. If the gemstone peridot were a plant this is what the flower would look like.

I’ve also uploaded two more flower bouquets. Sherbet and Mermaid’s garden. Click the links to see the hand bouquets in the Gallery.

Funny thing, the assembly line was filled with petals of flowers that have been around for years and never finished. Each of the pieces I posted today are new flowers made this year. Oh well, I have plenty more coming that use lots of older petals and look just as good. =)

I’ll come to help with the wine, too. smile
The flower is great. I like the different shades of green to light yellow. The dark green leafs match wonderfully!!!
Mmmh, yummy sherbet powder!!! Sherbet and Mermaid’s garden are lovely, too. The names are also chosen well. How did you come up with the names?
