Project: 3 Buttercup Bracelets for my Nieces

Getting hooked on my latest book, Crochet Adorned, I made some cute bracelets for my nieces whom I haven't seen for so many years. I gave their bracelets when we had a family reunion last All Saints' Day at Heritage Park and they were ecstatic!

Here's a picture of the bracelets below. I'd probably ask Mika to send me photos of the bracelets as worn...

My Sister bought me the Crochet Adorned book!

Having revived my crochet hobby, I signed up to Craftstylish.com  and found there a very interesting book with a modern take on crocheting: Crochet Adorned by Linda Permann. It was the lovely crochet necklace on the book cover that really caught my attention:

One time while browsing at National Bookstore, I found that the book was available here! I didn't have enough money at the time but was really worried somebody might buy it since the store only had one copy. My sister Cha came to the rescue! She bought me the book and it's the best gift I've received this year! 

So far here are the projects I've made using the easy-to-follow patterns of the book:
