Beautiful crochet!

One of the most practical (and cutest) things I have crocheted so far has been this very handy and very wintery cup cozy. Even tough I have mentioned in previous post that a) crochet is very easy and b) I am a very patient person, I have to admit I nearly had a break down with this project.

 As you probably now by now, I love arts and crafts. There is no denying that now. But it is not as simple as it sound. I love them only when they are perfect. I don't do things half way and I definitely don't do nothing that does not look perfect. I am extremely perfectionist, to the point where I can undo (or throw away) my work if it is not looking like I expected. I know, it is a big issue, I should work on that, everybody makes mistekes... well, too late. That is what I do! And you have to admit that the results are not bad at all! Anyway, now that you know this you can how imagine how hard it was to make this beautiful cozy, making up the pattern as I was crocheting along, when crochet is so easy to undo!! I don't know how long did it take me but I was very close to giving up when all become clear to me, although I have to admit that I have a second cup just like this one and I am afraid is going to stay cozy-less forever...

Ater all that I decided to take on an easy project and had a wonderful time crocheting different sized flowers and making this little brooch for a friend's birthday. I love these little flowers, they make anything look so much prettier and personal.
