Silk Ribbon Chrysanthemums for November

November is finished - unless I get it out again in a few days and decide I need to add or subtract. I'm working on the other ones too, but will slow down now, as I have some other obligations and responsibilities that need tending - a big painted canvas that needs to be finished and mailed in a day or two, and a deadline coming up that requires thinking and work.

I spent much of today organizing my stash and putting it into stacked clear plastic drawers where I can see what is where. I should be ashamed of myself - until I got it out and into these drawers, I had no idea I had so much. YIKES! But at least now it won't take me so long to find things.

Incidentally, I showed my daughter the SRE chrysanthemums and asked her if she could tell what they were (she is the mother of two little boys, and is her brother's legal assistant - and does no needlework of any kind.) She studied them for a minute, and said, "Well Mama. They aren't daisies and they aren't roses - but they are some nice big fluffy flowers." I suppose that is success.
