A Collection Of Flowers 2
The Granny Rose
When I'm sitting with nothing to do I find myself just picking up a hook and making a few of these. it doesn't matter where you are people always comment on how lovely they are.
Thank you Astri for introducing me to these beautiful roses.
I have a couple of projects in mind for these, now take a look at this.
Does that not want to make you weep? my poor shrub was killed by the frosts!
but all is not lost....tadaaaa
It's amazing how more and more roses seem to blossom but they never die off! I started off with 24 and at the last count there were 36, they just seem to fly off my hook and land right here.
I think that looks so much better don't you?
Why do some people namely one certain brother not understand that it's ok to be a bit silly now and then, he thought I should chop it down!!!......or do you think I've lost the plot too? I don't mind it's staying haha
It seems that red roses are in just now have you seen what Astri has been doing with her's take a peep.
I will show you what I did with the others in a later post
Stats
Each rose takes just 5 grams of yarn

I think it looks beautiful Linda. I also think it's a perfect crochet remedy for a bare bush. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Debi :)
DeleteI am ROFL! That is the best idea for the roses, yet. I can't stand it I am smiling ear to ear!!! I love that before and after photo of the frost bitten shrubbery.
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind and funny Linda. Thank you for the good words and the links. :-)
I'm glad you approve Astri haha
DeleteThe dead shrub looks pretty with your crocheted roses. :-) Silly is good and making people (like your brother) wonder a bit sometimes is fun! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteWow...Mrs Linda....very nice,beautiful and a great idea for winter time around the porch.Love it.Love flowers.Have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it Luna have a great week yourself :)
DeleteI think it is great you have yarn bombed with beautiful roses, yo are not crazy at all, just incredibly imaginative.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meredith
Thank you Meredith, I knew my blogging friends would understand :)
DeleteThat's a nice way to bring a shrub back into life :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Preeti :)
DeleteNothing wrong with some silliness. I'm just about to write a post about something similar. You have to laugh sometimes!!! Will you leave those roses on there permanently?
ReplyDeleteYes I think so Una, unless my brother sneaks in behind my back and chops it down haha
DeleteI think it's a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteGive me a crocheted shrub over a plastic topiary ball hanging by a front door any day.
I agree Julie :)
DeleteYour roses are so beautiful, I love them! This is something I could have done too! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Linda!
Thank you Barbina :)
DeleteOh my, that is BEAUTIFUL! What a lovely idea! I've got a couple of plain looking cactus plants in my kitchen and I think I might crochet them a flower or two to brighten them up now :) xoxox
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Elizabeth :)
DeleteOh jeez!!!! wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fertilizer do you use on that shrub? Blooming marvelous!!
Amanda :-)
haha, thanks Amanda :)
DeletePretty funny Linda... What a super creative idea for the Roses. Perfect. LOL I look forward to seeing what happens with the others.. VBG Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy :)
DeleteHahahah! You will find a way to stop this "crazyness". I love your roses very much!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them Regula :)
DeleteI would not mind what others say...because that bush looks lovely with the red roses. (I´d just be afraid that they get ruined with the rain)
ReplyDeleteI don't think they will Ana, it's acrylic yarn and I can easily take them off for the winter, they are just fixed with garden wire. :)
DeleteŚliczne kwiatki!!! Serdecznie pozdrawiam
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteHi Linda, great solution! :) I think it looks adorable. It's a different kind of yarn bombing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up at my link party!
Barbara
Thank you Barbara :)
DeleteThank you Roberta :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, this is so beautiful!!!! Great idea!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Katka :)
DeleteWhat a blooming fabulous idea Linda! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAli x
Thank you Ali :)
DeleteWho cares what anyone else thinks? I think it is absolutely brilliant to put your beautiful crocheted roses on that tree branch. Why cut something down when you can increase its beauty with just a bit of hand crafting? More people should try to do anything and everything to spread beauty and joy all around. Best wishes to you, happy crocheting, Tammy
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Tammy my sentiments exactly. :)
DeleteWhat a great idea, Linda, and it it looking great :) I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilde, glad you like it. :)
Deletewooooow it is beautiful :-) What a wonderful idea!
