Spring/Easter wreath

Post by p.penn »

Last year I crocheted a daffodil for my coat (thanks to Lucy at Atiic 24), and had so many comments about it! I wanted to make a wreath and although not hard, they are fiddly, and me having the patience of a newt, I never got round to it!

So this year, I thought it may be a little easier as I am a little bit more experienced, so put my mind to it! Can't honestly say it was easier, especially when my grandchildren wanted a daff each when they saw them, then a friend came round for coffee and I had to make her one too!! {rofwl}

So... in pictures.....

And in its final position....

Glad you all like it! I am rather pleased with it although just don't ask what the frame is! I went about it completely the wrong way and over complicated it no end - it was very Heath Robinson {rofwl}

The bottom pic is my front door Ilona! Sadly I took it in overnight as there have been several thefts in the village recently. Seems such a shame but I would be gutted if it went missing :?

Ooops, I didn't notice, Helen. In that case I would be very wary of leaving it outside in the daytime as well. After all that work you wouldn't want to lose it. Could you put it inside a window, to be seen from the outside?

Yes I could put it on the inside of the glass I guess, although sadly, it would lose a certain something I think. I will see.

I have put bells on my gate so they tinkle when someone comes in. Bet the house alarm companies are shaking in their boots with this security innovation {rofwl}

I agree that it looks better where it is in it's frame. I was going to say that it looked good on the mirror, too.
