Flower Power

What do you do when you have an abundance of all shades of green yarn?

And you only want to spend $6???


First...you start doing this...

and then all of a sudden and without warning...


 you run to Walmart with a few bucks ($6) and change at approximately midnight...
and buy one of these olive green decorative pillows.
The pillow forms that would need to be covered with fabric start at $5.97
and are much smaller than this one.
This is so tricky!

That is the beauty of Walmart yarn: one can feed ones obsession at any time of the day or night.
Sometimes a buddy (The NVO) will join you.
He will support and enable the obsession by riding along and protecting you from the midnight hour "going ons" at Walmart all the while still loving you. :-)

Then this happens...


 different shades of green on different sides of the pillow...

Then the good stuff:

Flowers!!!


More Flowers!!!
Then it goes outside to enjoy the sunshine.

Happy, Happy Saturday!!!
