Flowers for the Hair

My daughter loves to wander through a blog called "The Story of a Princess and her Hair".  Often she chooses hair styles to try out for school or church - she loves having beautiful hair!  Tonight she decided that tomorrow she would like to try "Flower Girl Hair"...  there was only one problem.  She decided at 8pm, just before she headed to bed -- I don't have any flowers like that, nor can I run out tonight and buy some with the children in bed.  What was I to do, so my princess is not disappointed tomorrow?  MAKE the flowers, of course!  I found a free crocheting pattern, and set to work.  It didn't take long to finish 6 flowers -- that should be perfect for the hairstyle.  I hope she's pleased in the morning!

Stitch Markers

I have found myself in need of some stitch markers for an upcoming project, so I pulled out my beads and wire and the children and I set to work, creating some one-of-a-kind knitting and crocheting stitch markers. We tried a few different styles, and had such fun!  I'm very pleased with the results, and I look forward to using this "yarn jewellery" on my projects!

Earrings!

I've been inspired to make some pretty little things - earrings seem like the perfect thing to try!  I used several different patterns (all free)   Some turned out better then others, but overall, I'm quite pleased!  They white ones are crochet cotton, the coloured ones are mainly embroidery floss.
