First Wedding Anniversary!

Hubby and I have just returned from a lovely city break in Geneva for our first wedding anniversary. Four days of sight-seeing, sampling the (VERY expensive) Swiss cuisine and relaxing in general, we are now refreshed and glad to be home again – not.

Seriously though, I did enjoy being pampered away from the six children, two dogs, eight hens and an extremely vocal cockerel, but am now thoroughly revitalized and itching to get creating once more.

I. Love. Flowers.

Flicking through our holiday snaps, I noticed a disproportionate number of flower pics, some also featuring yours truly; here are a couple of examples: –

I crocheted a basket a few weeks ago and was not quite happy with it, but not sure what it needed to finish it off. The seam was not exactly invisible and kept jumping out at me so something had to be done and, whilst admiring the Genevan (is that even a word?) floral displays, I thought “flowers”. So that’s what I did. Results to follow:)

I love the reverse – lavender blue with white spots.

They’re all double-sided so you can display whichever side the mood takes you. Great for changing the look without spending more!

Another classic floral, this time with bold red gingham as a contrast.

Sea-Green crochet makes an unexpected contrast; time-consuming, but sooo worth it.

Looking pretty, stacked on a bed….

Now to crack on finishing that tutorial:)
