I am definitely not a fan of the winter! I moan about black trees, I winge about the cold. So when the trees start to bud and the hedges turn green I ‘sigh in relief, it’s Spring! The daffodils are bloomin’ gorgeous! Do you have a favourite season? What do you like about winter?

Here is the sunflower version of the bottle top flower. I used a single hook for the centre and the double hook for the petals. I think I would make fewer petals next time I have added the second photo with a sunflower with fewer petals.

I am working on using bottle tops and bottoms for my Saturday clas. I have added some yellow petals to make a sunflower. I also have a video on how this is done. It’s one of those Crazy nocturnal wide awake activities that had to be done at 3a.m. I am actually wearing my dressing gown so I do apologise. Let me know if you would like the link…it’s a bit embarrassing! So do post if you would like to share a night owl story or Just post a photo of your latest WIP! Sunflower pic to follow

What a lovely turn out today and some exciting projects being worked too! Quite a few children have now made enough progress to use the Cordmaker. We are threading beads, and crocheting them on their chain lengths. Easter was fun with quite few Easter baskets made. The Easter chick pictures were popular with beginners. Two of the older ones were making cat toys, No patterns , just fun fidgets. We will work on making fun masks soon. Some have mastered the bullion stitch which is so easy to do with the latch hook. Anyone tried the bullion? It is used a lot in Freeform crochet.

Although I did crochet a few jumpers for my hubby. Post garments you have made for yourself
