Handmade Crochet Flowers

I came across some crochet lily flowers. I am always curious of how they are made so I wanted to give these a try. Usually when I don't post anything it is because I am working on something. I found a video which was not in English I  followed this lady through. I wish she had a pattern to follow. I made the long leaves myself but for the front leaves I follow another lady. If you search on you tube you can find these ladies that I'm talking about just search crochet flowers. I added wire and florist tape and arrange them in a pot with white pebbles and florist foam. Calla lily is the easiest flower to make if you want to try. I am fascinated how many things they can do out of crochet. Here are my flowers all made of cotton yarn.

Amigurumi Crochet New Toy

I had some cotton yarn to use so about a year ago I scribbled some designs. This was on the page but I changed the top part. I should have followed it exactly as I drew it back then. It is a toy that I was inspired to make by my grandkids. Also I did ask God to give me some talent to create something. I lack that. I would like to make a pattern one day but since I sell varieties of this design I rather not. I like to make two faces on the toy as it is more fun for kids to have something to look at. I think embroidery thread for this toy was ok. I used alot of blue in this toy on purpose. I wanted to add embellishments to this toy but it might not be safe for small children so I prefer not to. Anyway here it is

Crochet flowers

What can't they do with crochet? I always seem to find to things to try and make. This time I came across these flowers which I loved making. It was soon to be my youngest daughter's birthday and she loves plants so I saw these orchids. since I think I might not understand the patterns I looked for a tutorial on you tube. I thank the people so much for all their tutorials. I have learned so much from them. I found a video, I think she was an Italian lady and I followed her all the way. I used cotton very thin ply and incorporated wires to them. I was pleased with the results. I gave her more presents but she got orchid pot as well. She loved it. I got tempted to try lily and roses too. I would like to make bird of paradise I am a florist it would be nice to make an arrangement of all these flowers who knows if I feel up to it.

Crochet chalk bag

My beautiful niece had her birthday and she wouldn't except money so she asked me to make her a chalk bag. I didn't know what it was so she went and showed me her gym chalk bag. It was very small and I had a look not knowing if I could make her one. She told me roughly the size she wanted and how she wanted it to look like. I said ok to her but I hoped I will find something on you tube for a tutorial or pinterest. So when I got how I searched and searched I found one and saw this guy's tutorial many times till I understood how it was made. I went and bought all the materials so I can start making it. I unpicked and sewed and unpicked till I did it right when it was finished I gave it to her. She loved it so much that she didn't want to use it. lol Here is how it looked like

Amigurumi turtle blanket

My daughter wanted me to make her one of these baby blanket. So I found a free pattern for the blanket on Planet June's website. She also have lovely turtles' patterns as well but I didn't feel like buying her patterns this time. I searched for real look turtles and it took me awhile but I ended up finding what I liked. It was also a free pattern if I am not mistaken I found this turtle pattern from revalry.com. the turtles take awhile to make as they are all in pieces so lots of sewing. The blanket will be useful. I used all the blue yarn which I love to use what I have. I most likely would make another one with pastel colours like what my daughter likes but I had to try one.

My fave Flop

This has to be one of my favourite that I made. I love how it turned out. My daughter said it should have smaller eyes which is a pity I never checked out the character before. I followed a free pattern from pinterest. She also has Bing which I shared with you too. I also like that Bing turned out exactly like the character. I am proud of how these turned out. The Lady is an awesome designer and she shared them for free very generous of her. You should give these a go if you have little kids. My grandsons sleep with many of the toys I make for them. They are suppose to take off a few when they get a new one but it is hard for them, so, on the side of their bed is full of small toys. I present to you Flop

Baby rattles

I made these baby rattles for my daughter. She would like to give them as a present to someone having twins lucky for them. How I would have loved a pair. She showed me what she wanted from a picture and I did the rest. As usual my resource is pinterest or you tube. I got some inspirations from a video and my computer wouldn't work out too good that day so I culdn't excess a free pattern from pinterest. I always do my own thing so it is not exactly as the video. I just saw how it is done. I made them in cotton as it is cuter.
