One Flower Wednesdays

 I didn't know if I wanted to take time out of my current projects to make my flowers this week, but I am glad I did. It felt good having the needle and thread in my hands again. I used a couple of  the fabrics from my recent thrift sale finds.

The Cotoneasters bushes were the only outside plants with any color this morning. Not really color but berries to add interest.

Had to take another sunrise picture, the days are getting shorter, this morning's sunrise was 4 minutes later than Monday's and the moon is still in the sky.

Beautiful Monday Morning Sun Rise at 8 A.M. this morning.

Friday was cookie day. Looking at this picture it is hard to believe there are 47 cookies in this jar.
These are my husbands favorite. Very crispy, just the way he likes them.
I only had about 1-1/4 c coconut, so I added 3/4 c oat bran, and they turned out pretty good.
