for the crafty gals I meet with most weeks. I am so blessed to have found these lovely ladies to share this crafting passion we all have. They are all fabulous paper crafters, so I try to do something different. These are crochet baskets with a flower on the side. They have been filled with some miniature chocolates--Crafting and Chocolate...right?
The pattern is very quick, these were made over the course of a few evening's television watching. I modified the original pattern shown here
You Tube.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
