Spring Blossom Tree

Recently my Uncle gave me some hazel twigs that he had sprayed white, I put them in a large vase and thought they would look nice with something crocheted on them. I decided to crochet lots of small flowers in different colours using merino yarn. I definitely think it gives my room a little bit of colour?

The pattern I used for the flowers is from Attic 24.

Crochet and Fabric Keyrings

As I mentioned in my previous post I had received two lovely presents, in return I made the two ladies crochet/fabric keyrings. As they are filled with lavender they could also be used as a pomander for your wardrobe, I have a few of these myself.

The fabric is from Harlequin, a small offcut from the Scrap Store, the lace is vintage and was made by my great great grandmother. I decided to use a mauve colour merino wool to match the flowers on the fabric. I lightly stuffed the holder and filled with english lavender which I had grown in my allotment.

The double flower pattern I have used is from Attic 24

 

Crochet Hook Wrap and Fabric Flower Brooch

I have met so many nice people at Ulverston Scrap Store, it's always great to chat away to people who have the same craft interests, you can bounce ideas off one another.

Two members from the Scrap Store brought me gifts they had made using items from the Store, I was completely overwhelmed, it's so lovely to receive an unexpected present and I feel very lucky.

They both know that I love to crochet and made me a crochet hook wrap and a flower brooch. Very talented ladies.

So happy right now !!
