Crocheted flowers and raiding the attic

Yesterday morning I searched through all the old magazines that I have until I found some patterns for crocheted flowers. I made these up yesterday, some with crochet cotton and some with perle cotton. Who would've thought that you could crochet with that? When I started making penny rugs, I bought a ton of perle cotton and did not like using it for the penny rugs. Not sure what I am going to do with these, but they are fun to make, every one is different. Natalie and Tins and Treasures shared her spoon collection and that jogged my memory that I had a thimble collection somewhere in a bin in the attic. Yesterday morning, since it was warm here I went on a bin searching expedition and I found them and hung them over my sewing machine. It is the first time that I have had a sewing room in years.
I also found these scarves that I had crocheted a long time ago and they only needed blocked. I'll be adding them to the bin of hats and scarves that are looking for a home somewhere.

I also found this baby quilt that I had started over 6 years ago. It only needed the edging and it was actually started although the stitch that I was using was going to run out of yarn long before the end. I pulled out what edging was there, changed the stitch and finished it also. I figure that either the girls or I will need a baby gift soon and this will already be finished.

I also found yarn and knitting needles (from failed attempts at knitting in years past) and crochet hooks and some other knick-knacky things that I have placed around. I realized that I really need to have a yard sale. I have never had one so it should be a great one!

I love it when I'm looking for one thing, and find all kinds of treasures I forgot I had. Fun isn't it! I love your little crocheted flowers, how fun and so cute!

Cathy, I've seen little girls wearing crocheted beanies with those flowers attached on the side and they looked adorable. Just a thought for Gracelyn. Here is a site that shows the idea. Patti

I've been making baby hats for my friend's grandchild. I make little flowers like yours to attach to the hats. Love your dish cloths too!
