Butterfly Bunting

This week, although I haven't as yet put my previous daisy bunting on ribbon, I have gone ahead and started the next!

This one will be a beautiful row of butterflies...
I used Maries pattern, as it was simple and the perfect size.


So far I have done the crochet body, which is a flower shape, with 8 petals.


This will then get folded in half, to achieve the butterfly shape.


I'm thinking to do a black edging, to give it more of an 'Admiral' butterfly look?



Movies

Hachi
This heartwarming true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya
*****Heartwarming, emotional (literally made me sob) 
Warm Bodies
Life for Julie (Teresa Palmer) and R (Nicholas Hoult) couldn’t be more different. R is a zombie; with a great record collection; limited vocab and an overpowering love of brain food. Julie is a human; beautiful; strong; open minded and all heart. When R makes an unexpected decision and rescues Julie from a zombie attack, his lifeless existence begins to have a purpose. As the unlikely relationship develops, R’s choice to protect her sets in motion a sequence of events that might just change both of their worlds forever.
****A different twist on a zombie movie

  4. Both the daisies and the butterflys will be beautiful bunting. I do like the idea of a black edging.

  5. I love the combination of colours on the butterflies, I also thought at first they were flowers for the butterflies to sit on - but I can't wait to see a picture of the finished butterflies.
