Petite petals

I saw some crochet flowers in a craft shop the other day, but they were over $1 each. Thought I might make some of my own instead.

There are lots of free crochet patterns online but I adapted one I found on Nichole Heady's blog. You can find it here.  So here are the little flowers I made (very quick and easy).

And here they are with fabric brads for flower centres:

Butterfly dreams

I seem to have butterflies on the brain at the moment - must be something to do with the fact that spring is here. Not that you'd notice much difference in the weather. The daffodils have been out for a while, but there are definitely some more blossoms around. Just hope it finally stops raining! 

Maybe this will cheer someone up in the meantime:

Thinking of you

Love this butterfly stamp from Hero Arts. This card features some washi tape, and I pulled out my copics to colour the butterfly to match:

Thinking of you

I love this little envelope - cut with an svg file and my cricut. The little letter inside pulls out so I can write a message on it.

These flower centres from Prima are great - they make handmade flower embellies look so realistic!  I think I need to order a few more :)
