Yesterday I made some flowers to decorate the tables in La Petite Fontaine, as theirs were getting decidedly tatty. I made these little crochet flowers and glued each one onto a rattan stick, so they could be put into little pots on the tables. Here's a picture of some of the flowers...

The sticks came from a rattan blind that I disassembled, and I cut the sticks into thirds of their length, using my secateurs! A very cheap way of doing things.
I first made the pattern a couple of years ago, and used long sticks, but for these latest ones I have cut even those sticks in half again, so the flowers can sit in tiny glass jars on the tables. I'll do a mock-up for you tomorrow, as the glue takes all night to set. Currently they are upside-down, setting.

The pattern is available, FREE, from my Ravelry site, but you do have to be a member of Ravelry (it's Free!) to go there.
