Last weekend, I finished the bridesmaid bouquet to match my friend’s bridal bouquet (seen here). It couldn’t have happened any later, since she’s getting married this weekend! This will be the one I get to carry since I’m the maid of honor and coincidentally the only member of the bridal party.

This week, I’m trying to finish all Works In Progress so that my workroom can be in better order. First up: a lime potholder.
