Bouquet For Dance

I am reminded of the woman who is serving her guests their meal and proceeds to tell them everything that is wrong with it. I believe I'll need to do a few more of these before I'd be comfortable doing them. My son told me what he'd like and these are the supplies I bought.

The feathers came from the craft store.

I used my glue gun to melt the glue holding everything together.

All feathers are separated. I'm only using the black ones.

I thought I only needed a dozen but next time I'm buying more.
White was not an easy color to find.

I used the regular feathers in the center and the ostrich feathers on the outside.

I secured the top and bottom with floral tape and cut the stems to length.

The wide white ribbon I bought was too white. I was then stuck with thinner black ribbon which I wrapped around double so there wouldn't be gaps. Two pearl white pins secure the ribbon. I never used the lace it wasn't necessary.

This is where I need to decide whether to be negative or positive. My perfectionist alarms are going off like crazy. If I listen to my alarms then I'll be running around like an idiot all day. It's a yucky day out so I think I'll turn the alarm off.

What I need to do is act like it's perfect so Gilbert will like it without question!!!
