WOYWW 206

Hello Peeps and welcome to WOYWW  206 (What's On Your Workdesk 
Wednesday).

 Now - if you're not familiar with what this is all about, why not pop over to Julia's blog at Stamping Ground and have a look :-)
I have been playing with crochet hooks and various cottons recently and been making some little flowers :-) It keeps my hands occupied in the evenings when I watch tv. I had been making little bunnies, but since Easter has been and gone, I changed to flowers. Don't know what I am going to use them for, but I thought I might send some as little 'gifties' to my more fluffy/floral craftmaking Chums :-)
I started off with a 5 petal design and then I found a pattern for ones that you roll up - and they are cool. 
Here's some pikkies anyway :-D .........................
Click on pics to enlarge.



Then an idea came - why not sew one onto the other to make a bigger flower... so I did that as well. :-)


Well - I'm off now to see what other WOYWW - ers have got to show me this week. See ya' xxxxxxxxx

    Wow Ike . . . there really is NO END to your creative talents is there?

    I was recently sent 3 pretty flowers from a Blog Friend and I am going to crochet some chain and hang them in a row in a window somewhere.

    Happy WOYWW.

    Hugs

    I made myself a promise that before the end of the year I will learn to crotchet. I'm learning to embroider and I'm doing an art course so watch this space.

    I am not really speaking to you after your comment you left about the warm weather. It is positively freezing here right now! Hurrumpf!

    Ooh, yummy! Could you point me in the direction of the pattern for the rolled up flowers please? It will, of course, be goobledegook to me but my Mum is a crochet whizz and would love to make me some... well, I'm sure she would ;)

    Those flowers are amazing, I can crochet but am self taught, just the basics, I tend to look at something long enough and nut it out. I do like the double pale blue one. What an interesting desk you have this week thanks for sharing it and visiting me, I have enjoyed my visit with you.

    Hugs Eliza & Yoda 48

    Hi Ike - I do love a crochet flower! My Mum tried to teach me to make them once but I just couldn't get it! So I'm very envious of such gorgeous blooms. Have a great week and thanks for your visit MMx #114

    I just LOVE your crochet flowers - I see brooches - why not sew a safety pin on the back - they can be as big or as small as you like and they would look so cool. I now want to go and crochet some flowers!
    Thanks so much for hopping by my blog - have a great week.

    Oh wow, those are really cute Ike. I was only looking at a book in Hobbycraft yesterday with lots of knitted and crocheted flowers in and thinking that I might get my hooks out and have a go.
    Happy Crafting!

    Oooh love them! I can crochet, a little, and those would look so awesome on some hairbows or cards or even some necklaces/pendants, well I can think of lots of way to use them, huh? So please put me on the list for a link whenever you find it, huh? Thanks so much! And thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me such a funny comment! :) Deeyll #72

    Hi ike
    well done with the crochet ... they make great brooches and decorations for bags, hair etc etc. Thanks for your comment on my beaded box... yes, it is made to a special pattern, you can use either a word map or a diagram which work together.
    thanks for sharing
