It has been a floral sort of week - for my clothes and my crafts...
The weather has been so lovely - mild and sunny - and I have enjoyed wearing my flowery pumps and scarf...
I am quite in love with my new floral top...
I am still addicted to making these crochet flowers. I have whipped up quite a few of them with brooch pins attached...they are popular among my friends and family!
I actually did a little crafty swap with a friend from work. I made a couple of the flowery brooches above for her in her favourite colours, and she made me this gorgeous little floral teacup candle. It is so pretty, I really love it...
I also made a floral garland for the living room this week. I chose colours to match the curtains and I plan to hang it around the mirror. Well, I will get G to do this when he gets home later as even with ladders, I am still too short to reach properly. Bet he can't wait to do this little job!
Of course, there have been actual flowers too...
A bright and cheerful bunch on the kitchen table...
Chrysanthemums at the living room window...
Buttercups collected by my sweet Miss M during a lovely walk yesterday...
Hope you are all having a good weekend? It is another gorgeous sunny day here, so Miss M and I are planning another long walk as she wants to make an autumn collage today! So I am looking forward to spending some time together doing this.
Also thank you for the interest shown, as well as the lovely comments, on our crochet-a-long. I am so looking forward to starting it...

I love your rosettes. I've made a few but none as high as yours. I would never think to make a brooch but that sounds like a lovely gift idea. I love all the natural flowers too. I'm here from Joyjinks Creations and am your new follower ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh-so-much-prettiness! I just LOVE all your florals - in fact I know have complete floral envy ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunshine - it's lovely here too, we're off for a walk in the woods with the hounds.
Happy Sunday!

Flowers of all kinds and all so lovely. Love your top, it is do feminine and pretty. AND I love the garland, the colors are so refreshing and light.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your walk, xoRObin
Hasn't the September weather been glorious! I don't know what to do with myself. Jo x
ReplyDeleteIt's beautifully sunny isn't it! After a week or two where it went cold it feels like summer again (well maybe only as warm as Spring) but I am loving it :D
ReplyDeleteLove your flower broaches, I think I made a similar flower but not quite the same, and not a broach either so I might have to investigate to jazz up some of my coats :-)
P.S I think all shoes should come with pretty floral insides :D
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post with lots of pretty things. I particularly like your flowery top, it's so pretty and what a gorgeous cup candle. The flower brooches look amazing.

ReplyDeleteLovely post. All of it is so pretty but I especially love your blouse! It looks so nice on you.
ReplyDeleteThis was a gorgeous post with all sorts of flowery loveliness. I too, love the blouse.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers and I love the garland. I made a teacup candle over the summer as a trial because I want to make my Mum one as a Christmas present - they're such a lovely idea - it's also one of the many things I need to get around to blogging about. x
ReplyDeleteThe crochet flowers are just adorable, as is the garland. You always make such lovely things!
ReplyDeleteWell now I've got the book so I'm going to have a good old nosey - love your floral bunting x Jane
ReplyDeleteThose floral brooches are too gorgeous, thank you for sharing all this fabulous colour xox Penny
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post Marianne and I absolutely love love love that top! Where is it from?? I love all the pretty flowers that you have made, they make such lovely gifts and what a lovely gift to receive in return. I made teacup candles for all my friends a few years ago as christmas pressies, they are so lovely and so easy to make. Your flower bunting is so pretty and I am sure it will look lovely hanging in your lounge. I hope you had a lovely walk today, it certainly has been a glorious day here. Wishing you a very lovely week and thanks for your sweet comments. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi Marianne I must apologise as I realise that this lovely name belongs to you - I have been calling you Ladybird. I adore your top Marianne it does suit you so well - florals always cheer me up and make me feel happy. I have been feeling pretty miserable this weekend so your lovely post has helped me feel so much better. Thank you Marianne (you have a lovely name)
ReplyDeleteLots of love as always
