Today there are no inspirational pictures because I think that a Flared Rose is only found in crafts. It was an easy flower to make. Mine is a little too big for a hair clip so it will go into a box for a friend of mine who asked for a box of flowers. Between you an me I have been slacking on her box of flowers. It is one down, a bazillion to go.

Here is my flared rose.

Turns out red is not the best color to photograph

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter. Be well my friend.

This is one of my favorite flowers so I was excited to crochet my own.

This flower was very easy to crochet. I added the stem to add stablity to a hairclip

This is the finished clip.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with Love and Laughter. Be well my friends.

This Chrysanthemum Flower was not my favorite. In fact as soon as I took the picture I pulled the yarn and made it disapear. Again here is the link to the bookhttp://issuu.com/lesliss/docs/100_flowers_to_knit_and_crochet/1 

Here is my flower. . .

I really think that there is a better way to crochet a Chrysanthemum flower.

If you had a better result I would love to see it.

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

Now here is how my crocheted buttercup turned out

I am only using the yarn I have on hand.

This is not my favorite flower but it is cute.

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

100 crochet flowers

I crochet everyday whether it is a single flower, a new hat, fun project, beard, or whatever fancy I found. I followed an inspriation on pinterest and found this free book on crochet flowers. I think it might be fifty of each knit and crochet flowers but I want to make one a day just to see if I can make all of them. Since I already have many time consuming hobbies I am not going to try the knited ones, yet.

If you would like to try to I posted the link. I don't know if you can post a picture in the comments or not. I would love to see your finished flowers. I plan on making hair clips or adding them to various projects. I like crocheting flowers because it is a quick project so I know that it will be finished when I stop. Plus it is a great way to use up some left over yarn.

I hope you have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter. Be well my friends.
