Quick and Cute…

I love having flowers from the garden displayed in a little posy indoors. However I always find myself short of vases and it is often not something that goes to the top of my shopping list. I often have an abundance of jam jars lying around and wondered how I could use these as little posy vases but still have them looking sweet. Here is one little idea I came up with…

A little ribbon and a crochet rose. These little roses are really simple to whip up. Here’s the pattern…

Have fun…these little roses are addictive!
