Hexagon Crochet Flower

Hello,

These are the  last batch of my May crochet marathon.

I saw a really nice purse made from these hexagons here and I immediately wanted one.  I crocheted all the pieces that needed for the purse except 4 squares.  I stared to join the hexagons and I didn't like it then found out that my white border was wrong.  She changed the white border from double crochet stitch to single crochet stitch.  See my photo above  I had to redo half of them.

this is what it should look like

So there goes my second crochet purse waiting to be finished.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Triple Crochet Flowers Note Card

Hello,

I believed I saw a sketch somewhere and made this card. I'm neutral for this card.  However, looking at the crochet flowers I think I like the 6 petals better than the 5 petals.

Have a lovely weekend!

Baby Boy Onesis

Hello,

My older brother just became a father a little over a month ago.  His friends gave the baby lots of clothes and toys so we don't need to give them those.  He is going to need lots of diapers in the next two years so we sent him a nice check  tucked inside this onesis instead.  I told him about it and he was very excited about the check. 

The onesis is my own template.  I  saw some onesis templates out there.  Some are free and some are  not free.  I didn't like them because they used circle punch to punch out the legs section. So I created my own template. 

I'm going to link this to

Granny Square Roses

Hello,

These are the second to the last crochet batch  from last month during my May crochet marathon.
Each granny square measure a little over 2 inches squares.   I have seen some lovely crochet purses and I was thinking of turning these into a purses. 

 I will need at least 20 more squares to make the purse that I like.  Crocheting the squares were not hard for me.  The thought of sewing the inside of the purse slowed me down since I barely know how to sew.  But I really needed a new purse so I will think of something....

I combined a few granny squares that I saw on the web to make these granny squares.
I saw the roses here but I changed the center because  I don't like those holes in the center.

Then the next two rounds after the center rose was from here.

Thanks for looking.  Have a lovely weekend and stay cool!  It is HOT, HOT, HOT in the Delaware Valley.

Origami Father's Day Card

Good Morning,

Father's day is this coming Sunday so I thought I made a card or two.  My husband doesn't care about receiving a card so I didn't give this card to him. This is a quick and easy origami.  There are many tutorial on Youtube.

The wind must be blowing while I was making this tie because the tie is a bit off. lol
