Little flowers

So I've discovered that crocheting is really hard. Maybe it's easier when you're not using crochet thread and size 4 needles...the book is ADORABLE and there are so many things I'd like to try making, but my attempts so far look nothing like the designs in the book. I was trying to make little flowers here if you can't tell.

Undaunted, I made flower rings instead. They were really easy and fun to make. I just grabbed a few small pieces of wool felt, some hair bands, and a needle and thread. I like how imperfect and simple they look.

The astroturf looking thing is actually a stuffed animal -- I believe it's a frog. I thought it looked a bit like grass. Kumi is sporting a kid-friendly nail polish by Zoya. It's called "Manhattan Mixer" (not so kid-friendly name) and is a sparkly lemon lime color.

We went to the park today and I couldn't resist all the little daisies. I tied them together into a cute crown:

We had an unfortunate incident with a dog at the park and had to leave quickly, but we preserved the flower crown for a few minutes at home. Enough time for me to snap a photo at least.
