Just a few little flowers I made at the last scrapbooking weekend away. They are made with a variegated crochet cotton. I love the way these turned out and will use them on my scrapbook pages.
This rug is made with sixteen ten inch crocheted squares and put together with the "no sew" method in black yarn. I have made a nice fancy edge on this one. I love the stark colours.

New crocheted blankets


The center of this rug is made up of twelve small squares and attached to each other by the "no sew" method. I really like the way this turned out.

After a very emotional day it culminated in some wonderful photos being taken at Regina's place.
A happy ending to a wonderful day.

A scrap page recently for LSBS. The photos were taken when John turned 50, twenty years ago now. The page was about a treasure and the photo and family are my treasure. We do not have many photos of the family together and although the pictures are not of great quality they are a treasure to me.

Silk Flowers


I have been having some fun over the last eight weeks learning how to make a silk flower arrangement. I made 90 little flowers for my hydrangea heads i.e. 30 in each of them, forty petals for two daisies, and 40 leaf forms. The teacher actually made the four large leaves so I didn't get to learn how to do them. The end result is quite nice but I am not happy 100% with it. I love the colours of the arrangement though. At a stretch I may make another one in years to come but not right now. I will put up a photo a little later on.

When we were two little boys


I was very thrilled with this wall hanging that I worked on this afternoon so thought I would put it up here. Hope you enjoy
