I have finally took the time to blog about this hat I made my husband as a Christmas gift. 

I love crocheting flowers! They are great to embelish clothing or accessories and the best thing - they only require small amounts of yarn. *Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links.

These cute baby booties were made by me at the end of the year 2011, for my baby girl on the way.

Looking through the pictures saved on my PC, I have found this cute picture of my baby girl wearing crochet items I have crocheted for her during my pregnancy back in 2011. These were some of my first ever crochet projects and wanted to share them with you.

I have recently discovered Zazzle , a great online retailer, with a large variety of items where you can customize everything the way you like.

Recently I have received a surprize package with yarn samples from Red Heart Yarns in Germany. Between the yarn skeins I found a pretty Boutique Sassy Fabric, colorway Aquamarine Panther.

My little son graduated kindergarten 2 days ago! I can't believe how quickly the years have passed! These flower crochet coasters were part of the appreciation gift I made for his kindergarten teachers. I really love how they turned out! I love the cheerful colors! I hope you will love them as much as I do! *Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I might earn a small commission if you decide to purchase through these links.

All these lovely flowers were handmade by me, following the patterns designed by Lesley Stanfield, from the book "100 Flowers to Knit & Crochet". I loved crocheting them, especially, because the patterns are offered as written instructions and crochet charts! These 5 patterns are offered  for FREE  via Lion Brand Stitchfinder and Ravelry.
