What was your inspiration?

Carnations are often associated with fascination, distinction and love. They are the official flowers of Mother's Day. Red carnations are the state flowers of Ohio, USA.
Add a pinback and turn it into a brooch or lapel pin.
These flowers can be crocheted very quickly and are excellent as Mother's Day gift!

What are you most proud of?

I designed this flower for myself and for the most important woman in my life...my MOTHER :)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

This project is easy, quick and fun and best of all, the flowers you make and gift away will be well-received and well-loved!
