Flowers… Again. Lots of flowers…
I made some pink flowers…
Some yellow…
and of course, some blue… The flowers are super easy to make, and if you’d like to try them, you can find the video tutorial here. It’s actually the tutorial for a granny square, but I made only the flowers for the project I’m currently working on. The finished project (very, very, very colorful) I will show you in my next post. Thanks once again, eliZZZa for your awesome tutorial!
African flower stars
I’m a crochet junkie! Really. I could crochet all day long (if only I had time) … play with yarn and colors… especially colors… and then, play with my camera…
I made three of those colorful African flower stars. One of them became my new pincushion. I gave my sister the other one (filled with lavender), and the third will probably decorate the Christmas tree (if in the meantime my son doesn’t steal it)
I would like to say super big “Thanks” to eliZZZa, who made this great tutorial (and many, many others) for the stars of this blog post.
I’ve already started my next project (remember, I’m a crochet junkie), and in the next post, I will show you my work in progress, although I still don’t know exactly what it will be… which is actually a part of the fun… 🙂
My crochet bag
No, this is not a pillow! Finally, I made something besides pillows. It’s my first granny square crochet bag! 🙂
I tried some beautiful new multicolored 100 % cotton yarn, which I have never used before, and found it a bit difficult to combine colors… but since I love almost all shades of green and gray, I’m quite happy how it turned out.
Now and again, I used Clare’s trusty flower granny square 🙂 which I’ve already used for my pillows. You can watch video tutorial
here.
Thank you Clare! And that little tree in the background, is my cute olive tree, which I brought this year from Corfu island (in Greece). Corfu is so gorgeous… I really enjoyed my time there 🙂 In my next post, I’ll show you the colorful African flower stars that I’ve just finished.
