Where does time go??
Q3. This week’s challenge is to crochet a flower, or a make a project that has a flower motif or theme to celebrate the arrival of spring....
It's been a tough couple of weeks for me emotionally and I tend to go to ground... it finally feels like I'm coming out the other side..... thankfully, my crochet has kept me busy and I've new wool arriving tomorrow on Mother's Day! I feel truly spoilt! Just wish I could stop in all day tomorrow and make a start....... !!!
I've got a couple of flowers to share with you this week and a couple of questions to answer!
I'd never thought of tying my 'just finished' big project into this weeks challenge but it's fitting!
I followed the instructions over at Attic24 for Lucy's blooming flower cushion and duly bought her coffee :))
Here is my finished cushion! It's a real talking point.... just no one touch it...... yet!!!!!
Here are the two halves...

My little boy says, it looks like a giant sandwich !!!
Time for a Ta-da moment !!!!
I have had so many compliments I will definitely be making more as presents !

I really enjoyed this weeks challenge to
make flowers and set about looking for ideas, my first flower came from
Pinterest altho, I didn't save the link... it is easy to loose yourself
on these boards isn't it!
Each of the petals had the same pattern to it, rolling it up and watching it come to life was fun! I used scrap wool which happened to be rainbow, I like how it's made up!
To finish it off I added 4 french knots and stitched it to my crochet journal elastic band!
I am REALLY pleased with this! Thank you for the challenge Red Berry Cottage
My second flower came from following a YouTube video and again, I am sorry no link was saved!! My head has been all over the place at the moment, I made this flower in memory of my Mum and intend to make it into a brooch to add to my wool bag :D
Isn't it pretty!
Thank you for calling. Wishing you a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow if you are celebrating.
Happy hooking

WOW!!!!!! your cushion is gorgeous Gez...I want to bury my fingers into it :-D Your little flowers are so pretty and your Mum would be so so proud, HUGS xxx
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS!! I've had that in my Favorites on Ravelry for some time, and am so anxious to do it -- yours inspires me to get it further up in my queue!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS flowery projects. I love all of them, but I got to say, my favorite is the flower pillow from attic24. It came out just beautiful. You've done a great job. Personally I want to try each and every project that Lucy makes, but there is so much to do and create, when does one find the time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Have a nice weekend!
Gorgeousness Gez! I love that cushion and the flowers are lovely! xx
