Crochet wreath to celebrate 100 years of independence

This year Finland has been an independent country for 100 years. To celebrate that, I took blue and white yarn, the colors of the Finnish flag, and made this crochet wreath.

And now it is hanging on our door.

Crochet Coasters

We recently renovated our kitchen. It was a project we were planning for 10 years and finally did it. For the new kitchen, one needs new coasters. So, I made few in candy colors.

Even the Pink Fluffy Unicorn loves these.

New Year, New Beanie

I decided to start the new year with a new beanie. It was made to match my scarf that I made already last year. Fengshui.

Happy 2017!!!

The picture was taken in the elevator of H&M (Helsinki), where there are mirrors everywhere, even on the ceiling.

Sweet flower wreath

Spring is in the air (every now and then..). I wanted to welcome spring by making this sweet flower wreath. There are beautiful examples in the web and inspired by many others, I made my own one.

I got started by crocheting these flowers. The pattern I adapted from:

Then I made a long light green base where to plant my flowers and sew it together from the backside..

Then I made 10 little leaves following the simple pattern from this blog:

The last phase was to sew the leaves on the wreath in pairs and, then, glue the flowers by using a hot glue gun.

Beautiful and very girly - isn't it! A monochromatic version of this, using only black, white and grey could also be cool. For who could I make one? I need to think.
