Alright, I posted these babies because of the interest stirred on a SCS thread I started a while back looking for directions for them. I saw them in the new Stampin' Up! catalog and loved them. I knew I could make them but, as someone else said, "Why reinvent the wheel?" These were my first attempts. I really love the 2 layer flowers best!Only one thing I would change would be the size of the openings on the other flowers. Someone said to try the Magic Ring Method. Tonight I will give that a try to see if that makes a difference...I will let you know. Here is the link for the Irish Double Crochet Flower for those of you crafty enough to pick up a hook and "go for it!"
I want to tell you that I did not create the directions for them, sadly. I wish I had!! But, I am grateful for those before me who did because they are a neat way to add texture to cards!!
On another note....our son, Clark, has gone home from the hospital today!! Wooo Hooo!! I am sure that no one is more happy than he is!! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers for him!
Happy Crafting!!
Cindy

ReplyDeleteLove the crocheted flowers...I have some my dear grandmother made maybe 20-40+ years ago...that I use! I need to make more!! TFS
Oh, I finally got my blogger fixed so I don't have to switch computers to leave you comments :) Yeah! I love these flowers you make. I tried crocheting when I was younger because all of my cousins were really good at it. I stink! But I love seeing what other people do. These look great!
ReplyDelete*GASP* OH MY Gawsh... I've been LOOKING for some instructions on these!! I can crochet afghans to stuffed animals to doilies, but ya know...I absolutely need step by step instructions and can't come up with them on my own--even for little flowers like this. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You are a gem!! I'm gonna get to it tomorrow. What kind of thread/yarn do you use? It's not the doily thread is it? I'll go take a looksy at the instructions ☺ THANKS!
ReplyDeleteLOVE them all! SU! will be contacting you for samples!!!
