Pucker Up
This is my first Christmas make of 2014...
This mistletoe pattern is by Marina Hoffstrom and it's very well written. You can purchase it in her Etsy shop.

A red ribbon bow finished it off and it's now ready to be hung over my doorway! xx

This is so pretty looking and interesting. You did a great job making the milseltoe!
Thanks Julie and thanks for dropping by!
Dropping by from Clare's link party - I've been pinning a bunch of mistletoe ideas lately, but your version makes me wish I could crochet. I especially like the addition of the buttons.
Love your mistletoe!!
What a lovely idea, it looks great and will make a lovely decoration.
Aww this is gorgeous! If i knew anything about how to crochet i would definitely have a go! x
This looks great and I particularly prefer your use of buttons to the original pearl beads. The colour you used is spot on
This is gorgeous! I wish I could crotchet. #handmadeMonday
So cute, I'm off to follow the link to the pattern right now, thanks.
This is so cute...I love it! I need a new mistletoe for my home, and this looks perfect!
Oooo... COOL!
And I've got lots of those Buttons, too...
:-D
teach yourself to crochet! YouTube has some great tutorials! That's how I learned!
Thank you Kate
Thanks Lucy
YouTube tutorials are great
Thank you Andrea, have so many buttons, it was good to put them to some use.
Thanks Louisa
great! It's a really easy pattern to follow.
I'm going to make some more - for all over the house
Oh that's so pretty - I love the idea of using pearly buttons, a perfect way to use all the odd buttons that lurk at the bottom of the button jar!
I love this mistletoe...so very cute and clever! Thanks for sharing! PINNED!
This is just beautiful!
Thanks for linking up x
Oooh I like this! I wonder if I have time to 'grow my own' before Christmas. Lol :)
Oh I love this, how fun!! Thanks for sharing at Show & Share last week!!
Cute !

Oh I love this! Seeing as we are a kitty household and mistletoe is poisonous to them, I love the idea of the crocheted varietal. :) Thank you so much for linking up at Snickerdoodle Sunday- hope you'll come by again later this week!

Love it! I must pin it for 'later'! :)
This is lovely! So charming!
