My next few posts will be about my various projects for Bella. She&#8217;s really into Tinker Bell, butterflies, and fairies, so I had a lot of fun putting things together for her&#8230;! And my first idea was to crochet some butterfly garland for her room!<\/p>\n<p>First I had to find myself a butterfly pattern. I wanted something easy, and thanks for the wonderful bloggers at Little Birdie Secrets, I found <a href=\"http:\/\/littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com\/2010\/06\/how-to-crochet-butterfly.html\" target=\"_blank\">this amazing pattern<\/a> for cute and easy crochet butterflies!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSCN1403.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-183 alignleft\" alt=\"Butterfly garland 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSCN1403-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSCN1403-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSCN1403-624x468.jpg 624w, http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/DSCN1403.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>So I got my stuff together (some variegated purple and pink yarn, and a crochet hook) and whipped up my butterflies in no time! I made 7 butterflies for my garland.<\/p>\n<p>Then I used a darker, thicker yarn to tie them all together! I tied each one a little differently, to make them look a little random, like they were flying around. Some are tied with one wing, others with both.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the completed garland &#8211; hanging on my mantel&#8230; I&#8217;m sure it will be much cuter in her bedroom! I can&#8217;t wait to see how much my niece loves it!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/P2010799-e1359968603735.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Butterfly garland 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mjblythe.com\/beautiful\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/P2010799-e1359968603735.jpg\" width=\"998\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My brother and my niece just moved into a new house, so I thought my niece needed a few new things to spruce up her new room!
