Now these little corsages haven’t been named after the person who crocheted them!
I gave them the name dotty due to the little dots of colour on the chalky white yarn they have been crocheted in. There are little splashes of primary shades throughout the yarn. I have picked out these colours in the fabrics that I have covered the buttons in for the centres.
Actually the centres remind me of big Smarties!!
You know what ?
I think I might need a tube of Smarties now after all that crocheting!! 😉

Love them! Smitten with the centers they remind me of my M&M’s oh, I fear I might need a bag now.

I know the centres really look like sweets!! 🙂

I like your smarties-brooches a lot! And what a great name (I think that´s a keeper 😉 actually), and yes: you do not only need but deserve a tube of smarties after finishing those pretties!
Happy (yet flu&feverish 😦 ) greetings from Finland!
Yours,

I think I might have to change the name from dotty to smartie now!! 🙂
Sorry you’re not feeling so good, let’s hope you feel a lot better tomorrow!

Thanks Melanie!
I think I have probably increased the sale of smarties after this! 🙂

they’re lovely – so cheerful and happy looking and they really do inspire a desire for brightly coloured, candy covered chocolate!

I do hope there isn’t a smartie shortage after this! lol 🙂
Have a good weekend!

Thanks you for your lovely comment on my blog Vivienne. These little dotty corsages are very pretty… and I especially like the “rose” ones from a few posts ago.
