Hand sewn Fabric Hair Flowers, Painting, Crafternoon, and YouTube crazies

These are some hand sewn fabric hair flowers I made yesterday using a different technique than usual:

*four stacks of different sized fabric circles (I had four pieces of fabric per stack) I didn't measure exactly, I just cut four different sized circles.
*a round half-dollar sized piece of felt fabric
*needle and thread (don't poke yourself a million times like I did :( though)

~ starting with your largest stack of round fabric, fold one piece of fabric in half, and then in half again. It will be in the shape of like a slice of pizza. Lay it flat on your felt with the pointy end touching the center of the round piece of felt. Sew it in place with your needle and thread. Continue with the three remaining pieces of your largest fabric circles. 
~ next you will repeat this process with your second largest stack of fabric circles. This will create a second layer, which will go on top of the initial layer. Then repeat with your third largest fabric circles, to create a third layer on your flower, and finally, using your smallest circles, thread those through just like you did all the other layers, to create the fourth and final layer of your flower. I'll take some photos today of the step by step process. That should be helpful if you're more of a visual learner.

I'm going to be sewing more hair flowers today, doing some painting, enjoying a Saturday Crafternoon, Chromecasting Pandora Internet Radio, and pretty much just see where the day takes me. 

Part of my plans for today also include painting a Fleur de Lis. So, Yesterday I looked on YouTube for "How to draw a Fleur De Lis" & found a video by a crazy man. He rants it's "The Devil's Flower" for 35min. My Little Pony is also "demonic, evil", because one of the ponies has a fleur de lis symbol, and I don't
know what he has against Mary, but he calls her Lucifer's mom or something, I don't even know. It was kind of funny at first but then I realized he's like delusional and stuff and then it just got creepy. So yeah. Be careful out there!!! http://t.co/yJxMHzBVRS
