Crochet Flowers

Happy Monday!

It's been a very tiring weekend at home and I've managed to squeeze in a little bit of crochet for my garland WIP. I decided that little daisy flowers would go lovely with my garland of hearts, bringing some of the beauty of the outdoors, indoors.

This little cutie was made with tatting/crochet cotton #10 and embroidery floss for the petals. The pattern from Skip To My Lou is super, super easy to follow and as you can see the results are amazing! Personally I believe this sort of pattern would look better in a thin cotton rather than yarn, especially for a garland like mine. 

With a few more crochet hearts and a few more daisies, I think I will have some beautiful garlands for Spring.

Crochet hearts

Valentine's day is just around the corner, and inspired by all the baby news at my work place I decided to crochet some little cute hearts. Once all the translation biz was dealt with, they're pretty easy to make if you follow this pattern and video. 

I think these are adorable and will definitely be making more! For these three I used ordinary embroidery thread as I didn't have the right thickness of yarn, but they work just as good. As soon as I can I'll pop to my local craft shop, pick up some more thread in these colours and make a lovely garland to hang. They are just perfect!
