Sweet Nothings Crochet: C IS FOR …. CROCHET MOTIFS

C IS FOR ….

This is my 3^rd blog of our alphabet series of little motifs. All these motifs are headed to Project Chemo Crochet. Do read all about what this donation is about on their webpage or Facebook page of the same name.

Let’s work on our C is for… motifs. Today we’ll make cherries, a cupcake, a cup of cocoa, a chicken, some coral and some crabs. There is also a link for cat motifs that I’ve made earlier – so lots of stuff in today’s blog. Come along - let’s create.
