I'm trying to decide what to do with these fabric flowers, aren't they cute.  I made one of the blue ones into a barrett.  I'm thinking I'll make the purple one into a pin and maybe use these other blue ones on cards?  Ummmm what to do !

I've been busy making other things...here is my newest.  I made it smaller than the other trivits I've made.  Its perfect for the size of wine bottles.I'm going to make a few of these to give to my daughters friend for their tasting room since he gave me a huge bag of corks ! No stains from the bottom of the bottle on your tablecloths, counters etc !
