It is Spring and I can’t wait to get a garden going. But for now, all my flowers are crocheted. I gave some to my bookworm daughter and she has been loving them. They also made great Christmas presents for some lovely ladies I know. Now I’m putting the bookmarks in my store as new products so you can head over there if you are interested.
If you want to make some of your own, here’s the pattern.
