Crochet flowers anyone?

I'm here with something a little different today..........a little project of mine.

You know those pretty little crochet flowers we see here and there, the ones that look oh so nice on cards and layouts. The ones that are available in a whole range of lovely colours..........the ones that can become a little expensive for the obsessive amongst us who decide they need every available colour (ahem........mentioning no names!).

Well, I decided in my wisdom that I could make my own. Crocheting can't be that difficult.......you only use one hook......I have two hands.......I could probably colour at the same time! (lol) Yes, this was me being naive, but I now had a mission and was determined to conquer the crochet hook.

Here's how it went..........

First, I tried using some lovely cotton yarn, I thought would look really purdy!

Too thick!

Then, I found some crochet cotton which was much thinner, and I thought would work better...........

.........it did! Maybe the clue was in the name...........Crochet Cotton..........do ya think?

So then, I went on a little flower frenzy...............

...........believe me, there are more since.

Then, I tried them on a super quick, less than 10 minutes card...............

There we go........mission complete! Not perfect, but I'm satisfied with the results and they're certainly economical.

Here's my challenge to you all........pick up the hook and go for it!

Have a great day
