I found this pattern online and instantly knew I had to do it. My thought, perfect to give to my mom for Mother's Day.
Needless to say, she loved it! I found the pattern here. Y'all know me, I had to add some grooviness to it, so I added a vintage spool and tassel. Holy cow! I love making these!!! It gets my creativity going and I can't stop.
See what I mean! LOL! Yes, I had to do one for myself and a couple more after that, just because.
This one is mine. It sits on the arm of the sofa right next to me and is doing a superb job of holding my needles so they don't get lost.
Years ago my grandma crocheted me a butterfly with a magnet on it to go on my refrigerator. I have managed to keep it all these years without losing it. I have always wanted to make one, and this week I did. Only mine have a little bit of whimsy added.
I added a cord and tassel which make it perfect to use as a scissor fob (which I need because my sofa has a way of eating my scissors!) Aren't they cool!! I used my grandma's as a go by, but have seen the pattern all over the internet. Here is a little tutorial I found on them. They take minutes to crochet up. I used yarn for the body and antenna.
I also added vintage buttons to some.
You could use these in so many ways. I have so many ideas for making these that it's pure insane! I will be playing more with these.
I do love the cord and tassel added. This one is mine! And yes, my mom got one as well to go with her pincushion!
Sunday afternoon, time to wind down before another work week. That's exactly what I plan on doing too! I have been crocheting the "African Flower Granny" and absolutely love it. I have a surprise project they are going in which I cannot wait to get done and posted. I should have it all done by next weekend!!
That's all for now. Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there!!
