So this is the place where I'll post my creations from now on. Knitting, embroidery and crochetting keep me busy in my "quiet times" or when I watch TV or a film or .... whenever I can.
This wreath I have finished the beginning of the year already and I'm quiet proud of how it turned out. I used several patterns of flowers which I found on the internet and some of them are my own inventions.
This blog is also to keep track of the patterns I use from other persons, I find it hard to remember which patterns I used and where they are, so here I can give credit to those very creative persons who helps me in learning how to do it myself. So here goes.....
Daffodils are from Lucy - Lucy's daffodils
Little balls - Lucy's balls ...... Little balls from Lucy's blog
What a delightful little flower to crochet! A certain addition in any wreath I make and you can make them in every colour.
Star flowers - Pinkfluffywarrior's star flowers
Great bird patterns and a pleasure to make.
But..... what has birds to do with flowers? I should have added a few butterflies, next time better. Yes, I've started a next one.
Mini birds - Bunny Mummy's mini birds
Violets! It can not be that I don't use a violet, such beautiful flowers. These came out rather big in comparison with the other flowers.
Violets - Blij met draadjes
Leaves
The second pic has a leave that I love to use on a wreath, but ...... I have no idea where I got it from and I have only one of it. One late night I croheted it from a pattern when I was searching for leaves and when I wanted to actually use it, I discovered that I never saved the page.
While I wanted to fill up the entire wreath, I needed little things to fill the open spaces. I started with a little ball and only made it halfway, maybe a bit more than half and then I added stamens. Campanula is also such a great favourite of mine, so I started with a little ball again and then I increased stictches and added a picot round.

Thanks to Lucy and Bunny Mummy for their very easy to follow tutorials, it's brilliant, so easy to follow and set people like me on the way of being able to create my own ideas.
