Five on Friday



Hello .... This week I've been loving all the crocuses blooming in the garden, I really love to see the ones growing in the lawn.


I've been making yarny plans


for a few new additions to my Springtime wreath.


I've also spent way to much time trying to figure out how to crochet a bluebell, this is attempt number four.  I want to add some to my wreath, fingers crossed I'll figure it out, who knew crocheting a bluebell would be so tricky.


This morning I've been flicking through the pages of the Comic Relief craft magazine, while cheering  Dermot O'Leary on with his dancing ( he dancing for 24 hours, for the charity, for those outside the UK), It's such a good cause anyone else 'doing something funny for money' today?


I'm also waiting for the last of the Christmas bulbs to flower, not long now.....

I hope you had a good week too, joining in with Amy's Five on Friday 
you can find about a bit more about Comic Relief over on Amy's blog as she had dedicated her five on friday post to it today.

Happy Crafting

  2. Well yes, I would know that crocheting a bluebell would be hard - because that is a HARD thing to do! I am SO impressed with yours though, just for that very reason!!! Brilliant! They will be beautiful on your spring wreath and are a great way to add some new flowers. I love the beaded pins that you have used for the flowers, they are very pretty! Thank you so much for joining in, I know that your time is precious, so I do appreciate it. I hope that you have a great weekend! xx

  4. My contribution to comic relief this year is to sponsor my Grandchildren rather than get involved in an activity myself. The bluebell is beautiful, a real delight.

  8. The wreath looks bright and cheery! I have tried crocheting some flowers out of this book and I am just not that skilled to go off of a pattern. I do better just making it up as I go. You have more patients than me. Good luck getting it right :)
