crocheted flowers

Here's some pictures of the flowers I may crochet. These are the first flowers I have found on ravelry.com and I will continue to look and see what I can find. I did find a picture of some crocheted flowers that had long stems and had been gathered together and wrapped with a satin looking ribbon, rather traditionally, and it looked pretty great. We will see what I can do. I got time so you know.

I'm partial to the lilies and roses, but I think it will be pretty neat for the bouquet. I am mainly concerned with my bouquet at this point, because it will be the most intensive.

jewelry idea #1

 I am an avid crocheter. I love it so much, and I can do it really fast, so I was thinking of doing my flowers for the wedding party and reception crocheted and my jewelry.

I think this is the necklace. I am going to make a prototype of it at yarn-a-holics this week. Jeanetta will be there to help me decipher the instructions. It's super awesome.

also a picture in case you can't get to the link.

The only problem with it is that the yarn it's made with is not available anymore. I have another kind that might work, but it's off white. Which is not a problem if it's the right off white to go with my gown, but who knows. I guess I could always add beads too.

The pattern doesn't look difficult, and I imagine when I make a couple the third one will turn out perfect. We will see.

What do you think?
