My hands get all fidgety and my mind wanders as I think of all the crafty stuff I could be doing instead of sitting in meetings . This week I knew I had a few to go to and thought I'd really go prepared .
One ball of crochet cotton and a hook and off I went .
I ended up at the end of the week with quite a few crochet flowers all in the one cotton because if I wanted anything fancier my pockets would really have bulged !
I stitched the buttons and flowers to the fabric and stretched it over a small canvas .
Wa la ! A little project done in my " spare " time !
Edited to add Michelle (crochet queen ) from The Royal Sisters kindly sent me the link to this post with lots of different crochet flowers , I hope this helps Crochet Flowers
Adorable! Did anyone at the meetings notice what you were up to?
ReplyDeleteSo so pretty!

How beautiful. The flowers look simple to make. Where did you get the pattern?
ReplyDeleteAh this is why i love crochet...must less intrusive than running a sewing machine around everywhere...and a lot less noisy too.
ReplyDeleteCute & I have to agree...so much useful time "wasted" at meetings.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet...I have a meeting tomorrow........
ReplyDeleteJane.
Very sweet, good use of otherwise wasted time! well done.
ReplyDeleteCu-ute....love the variegated cotton and the little flower buttons. Very clever and a good use of that boring meeting time.

Wow, so pretty Clare. What a great way to fill in time in a meeting. That is why I love crochet, it is so portable.
ReplyDeleteI hate my hands to be idle too Clare. I think the buttons really make the flowers pop.

ReplyDeleteClare, that's the best use of meeting time I've ever seen!!! Aside from sewing, and sometimes INSTEAD of sewing, my favorite thing to do is crochet flowers from cotton yarn. These are adorable and I love the finished project!!!!!!!
