As you know I love crocheting...... In just over 2 years it has become a huge PASSION!! I have been called a 'granny' and been looked at in all kinds of funny ways when I whip out my crocheting in public, but I DO NOT CARE! and I constantly trawl the Internet looking for pretty things to crochet, on one such trawling expedition I came across this gorgeous flower. It just sprung off the page at me, I felt that I-have-to -make -one -right-now thing happening! So here are the fruits of my labour ....... Spring Flower Brooch

BECAUSE I now have so many of you reading my blog, and passing the word around about it.... So. here is what I think, leave a comment with your Email Address in the comment box, and I will throw all you names into a hat a draw out a lucky Spring Brooch Receiver, and send it to you where ever you are......... Would you like that? I sure hope so.... on that note let me say thank you all so much for reading my happy little blog! xxx

Ash!! I am addicted to your blog! I am dying to learn how to crochet. Bought a hook and wool already. Is there a easy way to start? Oh - and I made your white chic cranberry cookies on Friday - so decadent and delicious!! Had to make a jar of them for a friend too! Love these spring brooches - lesleyforbes@webstorm.co.za .
ReplyDeleteReally stunning Ash! One day I will make those...but for today I'm making two Victorian Sponge cakes for Grans birthday lunch:) Hope you've had a wonderful holiday.
