Crochet butterflies ❤️💙heklede 17-mai sommerfugler

🇳🇴&🇬🇧 Idag har jeg lyst til å dele en morsom hekleoppskrift på skjønne heklede sommerfugler. Disse sommerfuglene kan brukes til hårpynt, pynt på kjoler og jakker, som brosje eller til andre hobbyprosjekter. . De jeg deler her heklet jeg, og delte oppskriften på, for flere år siden, men jeg har oppdaget at oppskriften min har blitt populær igjen, så da tenkte jeg det var gøy å friske den opp og også dele den på både norsk og engelsk. Disse er heklet som anderledes 17-mai “sløyfer”, i form av skjønne sommerfugler.  De er svært enkle og raske å lage og du kan bruke rester sv garn du har liggende. 17.mai sommerfugl  Heklet i tynt ullgarn.  Garn: Tynn babyull eller garn med strikkefasthet 27m=20cm på pinne ...

🇬🇧🇳🇴I think the best part about days off and holidays are having time to make all kinds of yummy, homemade food and enjoy good meals with family and friends.

Hjemmet hennes er fylt med store, vakre planter ... og helt uten at hun vet hvorfor og uten spesiell kunnskap eller ekstra dikkedarer får hun planter og blomster til å trives og vokse. Igår hjalp jeg henne å ta en stikling av hennes gigantiske paraplyplante.
