This morning I was all ready for work about 15 minutes early.
What can you do with 15 minutes?
Well, I grabbed my clippers and went out to the deck and clipped one big dahlia that I thought would look good in a Chinese vase. Many of you are probably wondering what can be done with just one flower.
Here is what I did in about 30 seconds:
Right next to the vase I had a pitcher and creamer set. I still had plenty of time and went out and cut two more smaller dahlias.
In less than three minutes I had this little trio, which I think proves that you don't need a full arm load of flowers to make a beautiful bouquet for indoors. I even had time to take pictures before I left for work.
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that beauty can be achieved in 3 min..wonder if I could apply that to 'getting ready' to go out??
