Lapel Pin, made with silk chiffon insert and an antique german wire mesh.

Busy working all day, put away all the outside Xmas lights and decorations. Cleaned porch, cleaned plants, watered and all looks good.  Also left a hanging plant holder for the Dove family that likes to build a nest in my hanging ferns.  I bought a hanging basket and put artificial flowers and greens all around the edge of the basket, leaving room for the Dove's to build their nest.  I have had 3 batches of babies born in my ferns, so they like my porch.  Hopefully they will like their new home.  Tomorrow I will tackle the inside of my home and put away my Xmas tree, and all the decorations.
