Friday Photo Challenge

Posted on May 25, 2018 by craftycreeky

Today’s photo challenge is much easier than last week, todays word is ‘floral’, although my first thought was flowers from the garden, then I decided floral was a bit deeper than that, more of using a flower or the image of a flower, such as a floral arrangement, or floral fabric.

I haven’t done much in the way of floral arrangements, but we did have a mini workshop at our WI craft club where I made quite a pretty arrangement of flowers and candles.DSC_0020 (2)

My favourite dress at the moment is definitely floral, I made it last year and I have worn it lots of times. The fabric was a complete impulse buy, like it flashed up on facebook and within five minutes I’d bought a length! It’s one of those dress that makes me feel good, if ever I need a confidence boost I wear my red rose dress.McCalls 6966

If several flowers make floral, then I stitched a floral scene on wool at a recent Embroiderers Guild workshop. We felted blobs of wool on a piece of blanket fabric and then embroidered on top. I’ve put it in my Travelling Sketchbook as my theme is flowers.DSC_0022 (1)

Of course I couldn’t resist a floral arrangement of photographs from our garden…

About craftycreeky

I live in a busy market town in Yorkshire with my husband, kids, dogs and chickens. I love trying new crafts, rediscovering old ones, gardening, walking...anything creative really I started this blog after my New Year resolution worked so well. My resolution (the first one I've ever kept!) was to post a photograph of my garden on Facebook every day. My hope was that I would then see what was good in the garden and not just weeds and work, which was my tendency. The unexpected side-effect was that I have enjoyed many more hours in the garden. I am hoping that 'The Crafty Creek' will have the same effect. Happy creating!
