A year or 2 back this image in a magazine caught my attention.... and eventually after seeing a similar blanket at a friends house (done for her by her mother) I got so inspired that I had to try... one problem... I couldn't crochet! But this was minor details... and after some 'lessons' from the internet and books I started to learn all about double crochet, treble crochet, slip stitches and all the rest...
I started some where in the middle of last year... and am now at blanket flower 215! My target is somewhere near 500 for a double bed throw!
This is so much fun! ...and I experience the making of these flowers as a very stress relieving exercise!
To the end of last year I reached my first 100 and we held a little party! The blanket that inspired me originally at my friends home were also present!
I asked a friend to bake me some cupcakes (inspired by the flower crochet pattern)...
...and I wrapped them with hearts and words...
