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.

Looking good so far! Cant wait to see what else you make x
ReplyDeleteWell 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
ReplyDeleteYour spring wreath made me gasp! It's beautiful - I am in awe of the amount of talented people who have such colourful blogs! The crocus are lovely, the yellow and purple are so traditional. Have a lively weekend x
ReplyDelete*lovely - sorry! X
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely nice flowery 5 on Friday post. I really LOVE you flower wreath! Wow what a great job you did. Have a nice Friday.

Your wreath is very, very pretty! The bluebell may have been a challenge but I think it's safe to say you've nailed it and it's a total success! Have a great weekend x
ReplyDeleteYour flowers and wreath are gorgeous Clare. I have seen a lot about that book in blogland, it looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

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 :)
