I felt an urge to do make some flowers, for no particular reason other than it is spring. I wonder if I can make headbands for them to sell?

| 3 spring flowers made with 4 ply cotton and a 2mm hook |
I didn't follow a pattern for these flowers, I just made it up as I went along, but it is based on the traditional Irish Rose pattern, which is widely available on the net for free if you do a google search.

| red Heather's Irish rose |
The red rose has my own centre that I call "Heather's Rose", that's why the red one is "Heather's Irish Rose"! I'm basically fooling around with the colours I have here because I'm loathed to spend any more money on yarn, but maybe I will just have to get some different colours ...

| tri-colour Irish rose in 4 ply cotton |
I decided this tri-colour flower needed something extra, so I made a fabric covered button to go in the centre using a scrap of fabric from my stash. I just used an old plastic button that had a hank on the back.
these are so, so pretty. I love the layering of the flowers, the colors and the button is the perfect embellishment. :)
