i never promised you a rose garden.......

Ok  so maybe I did ....... and here it is

This is the roses  grouped into sizes we have two large roses nine smaller roses four tiny flowers and six micro flowers. Full detail can be found on Lucy blog at attic 24 if you fancy a garden of your own.

 I couldn't wait  to see how they went together so I  had a play I like the muted colours  it gives  a very different feel to Lucy . I really enjoyed making these and embellishing  the flowers with beads . The photo doesn't  show how pretty  it looks when it catches light

The flowers are lacking it's greenery  and although it's headed I am not looking forward to endless green . Any one in blog land want to hook some for me .... No didn't think so .Oh well that's a job for tomorrow.

a rose by any other name

 My mum has been staying with me over the bank holiday . I hardly see her so it made a nice if not sometimes challenging time lol. My crochet been neglected as I played hostess but back to it today but what to make ?

I wAnt to make her a present to take down later in year but what to make. I looked at shawls but nothing grabbed me . I finally decided on Lucy's  Mary rose wreath . 

 The picture shows the large rose done in chunky . The normal.rose and the micro rose ( which are my favourite.)  The only thing I have changed is I have put a shiny bead in centre of flower to give wreath some bling lol .i have loved how quickly they fly off hook.

 This is not my first wreath . Again this is from Lucy pattern I. February simply crochet. But it's my first proper wreath   and so far I am loving it . The roses are quick and simple and easy to complete in front of telly lol .My friend has already made this wreath and given me some tips in construction so do get a crossed it will  look as good as I hope.
