Bridal Bouquets for a Lovely Bride

My guess is that Amber was so hungry she wanted to take a bite of her Bridal Bouquet...lol : ))

After many months of cutting and stitching felt and crochet flowers, I created 2 Bridal Bouquets for the bride...one to toss and 9 Bride's Maids bouquets.  They turned out beautifully.  Now to start on creating more lovely Bridal Bouquets to sale on Etsy someday soon.

 

Amber and I just before the ceremony.  The wedding was so beautiful.  It will be the day I will remember always as the most special day the two of us shared...besides the day my beautiful girl was born.  Such a happy, happy day.

 

Crochet Lace Trim

Lately I've been doing a lot of crochet and needlework.  My daughter Amber had a beautiful wedding in October and I made all the Bridal Bouquets, and Wedding Favors.  The past year was a very busy, creative one.  However, today I decided to do something a little different.  I pulled out one of my favorite tank tops and added some handmade lace.  It took me roughly 45 minutes to complete.  I'm very happy with the results.  Now to go through the rest of my tanks and shop the clearance racks and tables at my neighborhood Target and get my crochet on.

I started out with a blanket stitch around the front portion of the neck edge.  Then I just used a simple single crochet over the blanket stitch, then back around with a chain 3 in every other single crochet. 

I love French Knots, so I had to add 3 little ones at the center of the neckline.  I just eyeballed the center, not being really concerned about the placement.

I think on the next tank top I up cycle, I'll add some crochet flowers.
