Flowers in the winter!

 Serious danger, here. Watch out! Both making and photographing these crochet flowers can be addictive.

 

I've made one last Saturday evening following this simple pattern ( so simple, just a few photos) and since then I have made a whole bunch of them in many colors that have brighten up my sweaters, shirts and bags.

They trully give instant glamour to simple outfits. I only put 60 stiches in the first chain but if I added more the flowers would look so much bigger.

Needless to say I got so many compliments and even some ...orders to make some for others. I still have a few colors in my head that I would like to try and make some more. Please , try and make them, too, to see for yourself.

Stars, Santas and small hanging pictures from the school bazaar. A bit of festive feeling among the chaos basically for the shake of children. Nobody, not even economic crisis can take Christmas away from the kids.

Speaking of kids and being short of money here is a few ideas to create perfect  Christmas memories without spending money.

How about letting the kids sleep under the Christmas tree with the fairy lights on all night?

How about making a CD with Christmas music and let it play everyday during holidays?

How about eating dinner with candle light and then watch all together classic Christmas movies? 

You bet I'll try and do all those things just to see the smile on their faces!
