Picking Pedals

As summer is coming to a quick end and and others are getting ready for fall and back to school, I am still soaking in the sun and savoring the beauty that summer brings.  A technique my mother is teaching me, I picked fresh flowers from her garden and will use them to create a beautiful pattern and burst of color onto fabric.  I took off petals, different grasses, snapdragons, etc along with matter ( a type of red dye) and spread across the fabric.  Next, I rolled it up tightly and let it boil in water on the stove.  It needs to sit for a few days but will share the end result once its complete!

The Killers Killed It

Some pictures from Firefly! My friend Amy and I had such a great time.  Racing back and forth between stages, we didn't want to miss a minute of good music!  My only complaint was the food :( Hopefully next year they can improve upon that and really make it one of the best festivals on the East Coast! Regardless, I definitely got my music fill.  I was most pleasantly surprised by The Killers.  Although they were the only band headlining that night which made for a massive crowd, their performance was pretty spectacular, fireworks and all!
