Hearts & Flowers

Hi, I was so busy looking at loads of other wonderful blogs last night that i forgot to put my post up!
I have been crocheting some hearts and flowers, the hearts are so pretty and I followed the pattern from http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet/ they are tiny little hearts and she makes the most beautiful crochet items (along wth lots of other wonderful things too) and shares patterns, definately worth a visit. 

The flowers are from a tutorial on You Tube, i just couldn't get it right the first few gos not having enough holes from the first round to complete all the petals so i started doing 12 dc  instead of the 10 and then found i had 6 petals instead of 5 which i think look great, these are great to add to different projects or as my friend has used them on a gift card ( she is much more crafty talented than me) but hope you like them. 

We have just moved house so everything is a bit topsy turvey here but still managing to get my crochet in so hopefully some more things to share soon.

Many thanks for looking  and have a good week x

Just wanted to share the granny square crocheted cushion i have finally finished, it is in 2 shades of purple and have done a solid dark purple back, this was my first attempt at the granny square and i am very pleased with how it turned out and think the colours really compliment each, my very good friend showed my how to crochet in this style as i only knew how to do single rows  (which i think is a dc stitch) and although they looked good in the dc i think the granny stitch is lovely too, am hoping to do some crochet hearts tonight, i found the instructions on a website that... yes... you guessed it.. my very good friend told me about... Attic 24, she has amazing projects on the go and shares lovely instructions on how to do different things, it is definately a website wrth a visit and not just for crocheting, many thanks for looking and have a good night x 

Hi, well.. i have been very busy with my crocheting over the past view days and have two projects nearly finished so hope to be able to pop some pictures on soon but i need to crochet some nice big flowers as have been looking at other peoples instructions to get some great ideas, thank you for sharing, and also my very good friend has directed me to lots of different blogs and websites for inspiration too, hope to add them soon, thanks x

Hello.... my very first blog, I have recently started crocheting, it is very relaxing and get a lovely thing at the end of it, this was my second attempt and think it has turned out quite well...
The flowers were meant to be 5 petals each but did too  many loops and they have 6 which i think looks good too and have fixed them on with pretty buttons.
My very best friend has recently shown me how to do the "granny" stitching and am having a go a making a larger cushion using "granny" squares in the same colours so will pop it on and see what you think...
Well had better get back to my crocheting, thanks for reading x
