Crochet flowers

Got my hands on some beautiful two-colored yarn from the department store and made this extra large crochet flower with a diameter of 14 cm:

For the center flower I split the yarn and used the pink colored part and from the remaining yarn made a simpler gray crochet flower, both decorated with vintage gray buttons:


Didn`t manage to figure out what to use them for yet, but I`m leaning for brooches. What do you think? Is the XL crochet flower to big for a brooch?

Maybe I can use it as a decoration for a bag...

Have a good one,

Cute as a jar of Buttons

As you could probably tell from my previous post there are some new button earrings for the Cute as a Button collection in the shop.

Most of them are made from heart-shaped buttons in fuchsia :


in lime :


in baby blue :


and yellow :


Others are additions to the flower-shaped ones in light pink :


light blue:


and a darker purple:


They can be found in the shop for less than 2 € (= 7 Ron) a pair.
Or you can make one yourself from a couple of cute buttons you have laying around. :)

Button up!

Felty Windmills

As kids we would make them from colored paper or newspaper, pin it to a stick and put it out the window or balcony.. from that came the idea to make these lovely brooches.

For the material I used felt and for the center buttons or beads. Here are a few pictures of the ones I made:

Front and back:

They are very easy to make and are ready in no-time. Feel free to ask questions if you want to try your luck with one, they are great accessories and gifts.

So which one/ones do you like?

Have a wonderful day!
