A Star for Elizabeth

 I was playing around, making a little knitted star today, when I heard the sad news that Queen Elizabeth had died. She herself was a bright and shining star through 70 years of loyal service to our country. In happy times and sad times too, her humour, compassion and dignity shone through. 

RIP Your Majesty. I would like to dedicate my Star to you.

Little Crochet Butterflies

Little Crochet Butterflies

Butterflies are very symbolic for many people. 

They are symbols of life, endurance, change, and hope. 

In many cultures, people associate butterflies with souls. On the other hand, Christians consider butterflies as a symbol of resurrection.

With all that is going on in the world at the moment, what better time to fill the world with a kaleidoscope of little butterflies !

These sweet little butterflies are very quick and easy to make.

I have seen similar - but this is my version.
