Experimental Cherry Blossoms

I've always loved Cherry Blossoms....

There were some floral elemenent ideas I had wanted to incorporate into my Lampshade designs, so I googled some basic felt flower tutorials. The basics for felt flowers are about the same.

 

Still experimenting on the shapes and looks, i know it doesn't look anything like a Cherry Blossom but the double tipped petal seems to be the iconic shape for Cherry blossoms?...  

 

Over the weekend, we went to the Grand Launch of the first Spotlight outlet in Malaysia. Being well known for Crafts and Home furnishing, we just had to go (of course, all the e-mail and FB reminders played a part!).

 

So me & Ms. T set off to Ampang Point at 11-ish on Sat morning to Ampang Point to find a Full house parking! After mamanging to find a place to park, we thought ok, let's have Brunch first before we go check out Spotlight. To out horror, we came to the 2nd floor escalator to find a huge crowd barred from going up. The patient Nepalese Security Guard explained there is a huge queue on the 3rd floor queue-ing to get into the Store itself, creating a gridlock. Also to avoid chaos, Spotlight staff controlled the Crowd inflow by staggering batches of disgruntled custoers into their Store.

We finally got in after 40mins, and the massive crowds made it very difficult to browse the Store. Nevertheless, I spotted a small corner called 'Fabulous Findings' - everything in the box for RM 2.99! I got a whole stash of metal beads, best part they were further discounted with the VIP card! The felt cloth was also discounted to RM 2.24 per piece. All in all a good day!
