More Spring Flowers


I'm still suffering from spring fever and decided to make some more crocheted flowers. Sunflowers are always a favorite of mine and I adapted a flower center of a doily and added picots to the ends of the petals and came up with these little sunflowers. Vintage buttons make great centers and they can be used as a refrigerator magnet or sewn onto a bag or a hat for a great embellishemnt.

I love yo yos and I found these really cute flower buttons, so I made a yo yo out of a bright Mary Englebreit flower fabric and added the button to the center for a fun magnet or embellishment.

Spring Flowers to Help Me With Spring Fever


As winter drags on, I start to get spring fever. It doesn't help that here in Kansas January and February you can have a 70 degree day one day and snow with a drop to about 30 degree high the next (like today!). I found a pattern for these cute little crocheted flowers and have been working away at trying different colors and different buttons for the centers. I've been making them into magnets and have listed a few on my Etsy Store. Without the magnets, they would make great embellishments for handbags, hat, headbands or could be worn as a pin.
