A Little Loopy

Yes, me--after four days in this apartment with a flu-ridden Miss A., burning up with fever, alternately docile and demanding, wanting endless stories, and complaining of sore throat and headache but whinging about the medicine. (I think it smells like grape drink--yum!--but she says it's disgusting.)
But also loopy, and far more pleasantly so, is this little wool felt corsage I whipped up during her nap yesterday, based on this pattern from Betz White. Betz uses her own felted sweaters and such in all her crafts, of course, but I'm finding lots of them can be done similarly with felt.
My cousin Amanda is getting married in May and asked me if I could make something for her bridesmaids, so I'm clearly letting that distract me from a load of other tasks, but when the results are this cute, who can complain (aside from, you know, my customers)?!
