>Flowering around
>I took part in a book swap recently on the Crafty Threads ‘n’ Yarns forum & sent to gilraen. I sent her the first of the Earth’s Children series by Jean Auel as the series is a real favourite of mine & I return to the books again & again.
I also sent something else with it but had to keep it under £2 which was quite difficult:
Crocheted flower book marks
received & she had to convinced her two year old son that the books marks were for Mummy! If they weren’t so unsuitable for such a little tot I’d make him one just to keep the peace.
DD & her friend were with me when I wrapped up both the book & book marks & the pleading just went on & on & on & on….
so I made these the night before we went on holiday (as you do!):
Cream cotton with a black glass bead for DD
Purple cotton with a glass heart bead for DD
Brown cotton with a yellow wooden bead for DD’s friend
Lilac cotton with a purple glass bead for DD’s friend
Orange cotton with a Fair Trade Wire bead from Africa for my friend who happens to the other childs mother
and finally one for me:
Brown cotton with a cream wooden bead
A few more have been made since these photos were taken but I didn’t want anymore photos. Just imagine different coloured cotton yarns with pretty beads & you’ve got it.
