Flowery Fun!

With the cold, dark evenings drawing in I am enjoying some crochet snuggled under a fluffy blanket in front of the tellie. The flower pattern is from Luce's colourful blog at attic 24 and the hearts are from here. I'm thinking of making a bunting for Es' bedroom with these. I've used up left over cotton, but am running out. So will have to add that to my shopping list. Do you think I should keep to the same sort of palette of pastels or do you think I could throw in some brights? The flowers are not perfect.....in actual fact I've just realised why the purple flower looks slightly odd. There are only 5 inner petals and there should be 6. Oh well, will have to fix that otherwise it'll annoy me.





I have actually used this crochet flower pattern before. Remember this?

Well off to sort out that rather sad looking purple flower....ho hum!

  1. Love the hearts, will look great as bunting. My daughter would love that in her room.
    I tried Lucy's flowers and also ended up with 5 petals.....strange. I don't really think crotchet is for me, I think i'll stick to scrapping and sewing!Have a great weekend.

  3. I absolutely love your crochet flowers and hearts. You have to teach me how to make flowers - please come and visit me next week! That lovely purple cotton looks very familiar, a sweet baby cardigan you made for our baby maybe? I love cottons, but they look hard to keep from splitting when working with them. Are they? I'm not sure about mixing the colours, I'd have to see the brights with the pastels first. Another good reason to come over! Have a great day lovey!!

  4. I did it, I did it! I too can make these delicious flowers, just like you and Luce. I am feeling soooo clever at the moment. I'll bring them to PG on Tues and show you. Thanks so much for blogging about them and giving me the inspiration to try them myself. Yay me!
