This Won't Hurt...

How many times have you heard this just before the nurse gave you a shot?  Here's Florence wielding a very large, scary needle - do you think it will hurt?

She's sitting on a stool which was crafted out of a cardboard core and cereal box

Ceramic tile adhesive was spread over the entire stool.  Once dry, it was painted with gold paint.  Vintage medical dictionary pages were glued in place around the center.

Since Florence is new to nursing, she researched the proper way to give an injection.  The book was made in Photoshop Elements 8.0

The nurse's cap is made of card stock; uniform fashioned from scrap fabric and machine embroidered cross; an infant's oral medicine syringe complete the ensemble.

She was fun to make and I hope made you smile.  Thanks for visiting my Pink Saturday blog.

This is a cute post. You can keep the needles. I do not trust anyone giving them even Florence.

I'd trust Florence! You can tell she's a really capable nurse and wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose.

Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Mother's Day! Sorry I'm a little late - my husband whisked me out for dinner last night, so I didn't get my visiting done.
