CAL Pretty Flower Brooch

Hello to you.
Hope you're all well?
This week I have had some changes in my life. I've got myself a little part time job cleaning and ironing for a family down the road. Prefect timing - just before Christmas!
I made myself a little flower brooch this week.
I've finally managed to treat myself to Cute and Easy Crochet with Flowers.
Here is my lovely new copy.
I wanted to start myself off with a quick project, so I chose the brooch.
The book is full of amazing projects.
Some of which the ladies from the CAL crochet-along are making.
LadybirdDiaries and Chrissie Crafts are making a beautiful hexagon blanket.
 
So I made all the bits first...
Then sewed them together, easy as that.
Here it is on my cardigan! ready for its first outing.
I must say I'm really enjoying joining in with the crochet-along. I really enjoy popping into other blogs and seeing the lovely things they're making.
 

Chrissie Crafts
 
This time my crochet is definitely blooming. Still working on the CK inspired blanket only a few more rows to go now! And then I can get bordering.
Hope that you've all enjoyed a lovely week.
xx

    I love the brooch, just gorgeous!
    I too treated myself to that book, so many lovely projects, and I have just started joining in the CAL too!
    Enjoy your crocheting, and well done for getting the job - sounds really handy.

    Lovely job you made of the sweet little flower FB and such a lovely shade of pink - I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it in various situations.
    Well done for getting yourself a handy job so close to home and Christmas - a nice little bit of pocket-money for you, and a change of routine can be refreshing too; don't work too hard though!
    I'm looking forward to seeing your blanket all finished, cosy and cuddly!
    Take care and have a good weekend.
    Warm hugs, Joy xo

    Love your flower brooch, it is really pretty! Always nice to make small things that you can start to use quickly, in between the blankets!
    Wishing you a happy week.

    Fantastic broach. You really are selling this book to me but I really shouldn't buy anything more yarn related until some of my 25 WIPs are finished
