Floral and duct tape

My sister in law helps with the local Republican Party, so she asked me to make this red, white, and blue arrangement for the podium at a breakfast they were having. I made it at my Mom's house. Thus my Mom's kitchen.

The flowers and supplies for the arrangement pretty much cost exactly what they paid me, so I kept a few flowers for myself as my payment. (I waited a few days to take these pictures, the flowers are kind of dying and had been munched on by my cat a bit.)

Lastly, in the name of exhibiting all things that I create: at my nephews' birthday party, we made duct tape bags. I started making one that was a bit more girly, then I finished it at home. It was strangely fun and soothing making this thing.
