Crochet Flowers

It should be no surprise to you that I am a craftaholic. And of course my crafting habits include crocheting. I've been working on making flowers lately, with the idea in mind of turning them into brooches. I found a similar example on etsy.com... something similar to the brooch below. My flowers are different, a lot fuller, and I want to put a button in the center. Once I get one completed I will post some pictures so you can see my version. Crochet Pattern Central is a great resource all kinds of different flower directions, not a great looking website, but nonetheless. 



































Below is a YouTube video of how to make a basic flower. Youtube is another great resource for this, there are TONS of videos.

I found this 

adorable project on MarthaStewart.com. As I talk about in the post below, it came to me in Martha's Craft of the Day emails. I saw it and thought it was soooo cute and just had to make them. I have told a few different people about this project now and have got them all hooked on it. They are a super cute addition to any fridge! Check them out!
