Yesterday I spent a couple hours cutting circles to make peonies, I had planned to go through the whole creation process with them yesterday but the mail didn't arrive until around 5 PM and I got distracted online earlier in the day. So I didn't start to actually work on cutting circles out until 3:00. So since I was off to such a late start I cut out several circles and then took a couple hours break for dinner. I planned on going back downstairs at 7:00 to move onto phase two of the flowers but despite feeling rushed, I didn't get back down to the basement until close to 7:30. I had a bowl of ice cream and wanted to keep it away from the fabric, so I didn't have to worry about something happening. That and I didn't want to come back up the stairs once I finished it, because I knew I was going to just start working after that.
So I finally made it to the basement and popped the dvd in and worked. I blew through the entire dvd (all four epsidoes of Emergency! and the bonus Adam-12 episode), I had most of the fabric singed and I made a pair of earrings. All in all it was about midnight when I finally came up from the basement. But I didn't actually make any peonies last night. So this morning I moved onto phase two, assembly and finishing of penies. Because I wanted to have them photographed around 11, I only made four new peonies which took me longer than expected. Of course I am working with almost no workspace in my room due to my tiny desk, so that might have caused a delay.
At any rate, the four were done and I went outside to shoot them. It was a gorgeous day out, nice and sunny, perfect temperature only problem was it was a little windy. So I had to move operations insde due to the fact that my peonies were taking off like Dorothy's house in the Wizard of Oz. So after some frustration with trying to find the perfect spot, I was able to take the rest of my pictures. You can see the first two listings here:

Thanks guys it's frustrating when I have all this inventory but it's not moving. I was feeling the nudge to list some peonies on artfire. So we'll see.
