Russian sakura

five tiny petals and a pearl

I've spent a few hours working on sakura blossoms I found on Pinterest.  Yes, I'm making something I discovered on Pinterest!  The conversation in my head went something like this, "make just one pattern before you spend anymore time collecting [hoarding]  more patterns and pictures...I'm begging you...just one thing."  So with that ultimatum I had to bite the bullet.  If you are looking for the pattern you can find it HERE [¿or maybe I managed to link the photo?]

none of my husband's Russian friends are in town for the summer

a lot like making Russian leaves - is it diagonal peyote?

I found a gorgeous version at irosperlen.blogspot.com
