My crochet flowers...

Hi bloggers, just a quickie from me, I am off to take the boys out.
Here are the flowers and a head band I crocheted when I was in bed with a virus the other day. I am much better although not completely back to normal. 
Excuse the pics of me wearing the headband, these were taken by my 6 year old... I think considering his age they turned out really well! Just the subject is hideous *lol*
Hope you like them!

I am tucked away in bed...

Hello my lovely bloggers!
I am stuck in bed at the moment with a really nasty stomach virus that my darling husband decided to share with me *Yeurgh* I feel really ill and whenever I try to get up after a few steps I need to sit/lie down again. But hubby got over it quickly in about 2 days so I hope it won't be long.
There is an upside to it, too. Being stuck in bed I got to play around with some crochet hook and yarn and made my first flowers! All thanks to the wonderful Dorcas who posted some of her homemade crochet flowers together with some videos on stitches. Being german I couldn't make heads or tails from the tutorials I'd seen before, although I do know the basics of crochet. Dorcas however posted videos that explain which is which and a list of abbreviations and the differences between english and american stitch names. Now I am all clued up I can't stop making them.
I finished a little head band earlier and will now start to decorate it, if I am pleased with the outcome I will share pictures!
