This is the poinsettia I made into a little xmas pin. It’s like Jana’s Loom Bloom. I did a square in green for the leaf and made a bud to go along, then sewed them to a pin back. you could spray a little clear glitter if you wanted to give it some frosting.

…But we have white tops this morning. I expect we’ll finally get our killing frost tonight. But the forecast is for it to clear a bit and …maybe… get a little warmer before the next one. I’m happy to see it up there as long as they get the pass cleared by Thursday morning when [...]
