Shoo Fly!

So me and my systers are doing a Secret Syster monthly swap, co-ordinated by the lovely Sabbles. My recipient for February is my gorgeous syster Sarah. I trawled her Swap-Bot profile for some ideas of what she might like, and I noticed she said she would love a crocheted Venus fly trap! Not one to balk at a challenge, I had a look for patterns but was not willing to pay for one so I decided to make up my own. Here below I present.....the finished article! I used pipe cleaners inside the stems so they are poseable, and popped them inside a plastic flowerpot. I think they turned out pretty cute :)





I hope she loves it! Blessed Be )O(
