Crochet Flower Brooche

Some time ago I have shared a picture of white crochet flower brooch. I have made short written instructions about crocheting this brooch and shared it on my Crochet Flower Patterns blog. I hope, that you will find these instructions useful.

The pattern is quite simple. The main thing is to get the idea of crocheting such flower. The patterns can be easily change. The flower can be made smaller of bigger if you like. The petals can be in the same size or you can make them different. Another key factor for making such flower is a fuzzy yarn. I like mohair or angora for these brooches.

Crochet Cornflower

Amigurumi Pig and Spring

Well, it seems that spring is here at last. I am telling you this, because last weekend on Eastern we had some snow here. It was quite interesting. My husband said that it is time to decorate Christmas tree with eggs. Well, interesting idea. Maybe, worth trying. But it will have to wait till next year.
And today I come to you with another one amigurumi. This time it is a small and tiny pig. Maybe I should call it a piglet because it is very small. Its height is about 3 cm and it's about 5 cm long.

Pincushion

Hello again. This is another finally finished project I would like to share with you. Have I mentioned, that I have a big problem with unfinished projects. Few weeks ago my husband told me that he will not allow more unfinished projects in the house. I completely agree with him, so this year I will start finishing all my VIP's. Last weekend I revised all VIP's and it is hard to believe, that there are so many unfinished works. I hope, that I am not alone with this problem. I know that this problem is common among those who love cross stitching.

Crocheted bears (amigurumi style)

Crocheting is one of those addictive habits, that allows you to make cute tiny things in a short time. I came across some nice amigurumi patterns in Kyuuto! Japanese Crafts: Amigurumi book. The book contains very helpful step by step instructions and patterns on making cute amigurumi animals.
