What a dreadful day here in the UK. Dark, wet and miserable. Good job we've got some pretty Butterflies to cheer us up!
I crocheted these yesterday. A break from my Ripple. I haven't done any Ripple since the other evening when I sat by the Fireside waiting for my daughter to come home. Thanks to everyone 'all over the world' who were just a little concerned for me! You all know what's it's like when you have young adults living in the house. Worry, worry, worry! I think this age 23 is one of the hardest for us Moms!
Bethel of Bethania very kindly gave me a link to Nets Pets. The lady on the blog has very kindly put a video up to make some Butterflies. I must say she really did a fantastic job. Her instructions were fantastic and I'm very proud to say that I have now done 4 coloured Butterflies and I've done 5 white and gold ones. (Which I shall post a bit later).
The Butterflies are just basically made using trebles and the instructions are really dead easy! Please have a go. They are such fun. I think I actually like doing them better than the Birds because they are so........quick. You can change wool to make a variety of different designs to suit whatever and you can put them anywhere.
The ones on the Conservatory by the Window are just stuck up there with white sticky fixers. The one on the Cage is wired on.
If you visit Bethel of Bethania either on Flickr or her blog you will see the gorgeous ones she made and put in her garden. She has taken some wonderful shots. Look closely though, because the first time I visited her blog I thought it was just a leaf in the garden and I nearly missed them! She's done a variety of different colours and they really are so pretty. Well done Bethel!www.bethelofbethania.blogspot.com

Here's another photo of the Bird Cage and Butterflies.
I'd love to know whether you've managed to have a go. As I say a very quick easy project.
Have a good day everyone!
Bye for now.....
Oh! P.S. I have this afternoon managed to get another Christmas tree! If you read my blog you will know the story! x
Please watch my very quick slide show and listen to the music of Alicia Keys - 'Butterflies'.
