The Bartlett Family Adventure

The Bartlett Family Adventure is all about the moments that take my breath away as I grow in the glory of God, and live my life to the best of my ability while raising two rowdy boys. This blog is not just about me, it also includes stories of my family's daily adventures. We home school our boys, are trying to grow our fruits and vegetables, we are all on a journey to God, we are trying to live sustainably, and most importantly love the life we lead. Sometimes we stumble, but mostly I like to think we prevail. I am blogging to keep a sort of shared journal. Our life may be messy but it is perfect.

Hellebore

Today I am crocheting the first flower from the book 100 Flowers to Knit and Crochet
http://issuu.com/lesliss/docs/100_flowers_to_knit_and_crochet/1 is the Hellebore. First I thought it would be nice to see what the actual flower looks like in nature.

I want to be totally honest with you I googled these pictures because I had no idea what they looked like. I was surprised by the many colors their many different colors.
I added a slip stitch around the finished flower.

This is the back of the flower

This was my first attempt.

The hardest part is that the pattern is written in the UK terms so it takes a minute or two to get used to the stitch names. If you have any trouble with the flower I might be able to help if you ask.

I hope you are having a wonderful day filled with love and laughter. Be well Friends.
