I've not been well this week; nothing serious (I hope) just been feeling really queezy and very dizzy ~ falling over dizzy. I'm fine when sat still so I have been keeping myself very still and occupied with a little crochet. I started making these flowers a couple of weeks ago now, I made them up as I went and found the pattern quite simple but sweet.
Using my favourite Sublime Merion Baby Cashmere Silk yarn which is soft as can be, I knocked these flowers out. At the time I wasn't sure what to do with them, I contemplated sewing them all to a cushion but then decided as I had a huge bag of brooch backs I would make them into brooches.
I added a lovely creamy/white matt pearl in the middle of them and I think they are quite sweet.
For this last one I creatively turned the flower for the bottom layer and reversed the pattern to give a bit of interest to the petals (read ~ buggered up, but I quite liked it).

If anyone is interested I will write a little tutorial, they were really simple to do.
nb. Hubby calls them my Penny Blossoms and urged me to sing sea shanties as I was making them ~ fans of the Big Bang Theory will know what I mean :)

Middle Ear Infection - you need to get to docs and get some drugs!!I love those little flowers - I made some for a little flower garland I`m making but they`re carp compared to yours!Love the colours. Get better soon.x
They are gorgeous, I love the idea of making them into / sewing them onto a cushion!
Thank you for the fab hexi kit, I am going to do a post on them soon - I might ask to borrow your whole post as a guest tute! I want 4 sets as Christmas pressies. I do think that you could cut less hexies and put a couple of paper sheets in for the buyer to cut - it may save you lovely fingers!! xxx
Hope you are soon back to your normally cherpy self soon Hun. Those brooches are fab I really wish I could crochet!xx
Get thee to the doctor! It might be an ear infection of some sorts if you're feeling dizzy and peculiar. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

hi kandi, i agree with nana gogo and alex sounds like it might be an ear infection so a quick trip to the doctors will hopefully sort it out.
