Flower Power ! crocheted flowers...

Hello Dear readers... so, I have certainly been absent from my blog for awhile--4 months in fact! I guess I needed a break, but now I am back  and will be posting regularly. I thank you for your patience.

 Yesterday, in a fit of creativity, I created these crocheted flowers. I crocheted these from scraps of wool I had on hand and finished them with nice vintage buttons.

What possessed me? I have committed to 2--yes 2!! craft fairs for the Holidaze and so need crafted items to sell. This is just a few of the items I will sell...I also have hand knit hats, some sewn "inchy" pins, some beadwork, and of course, some linocut prints.



these are quick and fun to make---here is a blue posey....


this one is made from re-purposed angora yarn---I unraveled a thrifted angora sweater for the yarn...

lovely sunny flower~

will you be my star? I love this star vintage button...


I had thought I would make these into pins or brooches but have decided to make them into hair clips....

So glad you are back! Missed reading your blog, and was starting to worry about you. I was going to email you tonight if you hadn't posted yet!
