The white rose is dying … only a couple of petals left. I thought the crochet version of a dying rose will give you some ideas about what else you can do with a scrap of thread and a crochet hook. Trouble struck today and the backlight on my laptop is gone 
, photo processing was pretty though, I cannot see much, the screen is almost blank. Good side is… I'll need to buy a new laptop.

It’s good to see that you are looking on the bright side of a crashed computer!
im sorry but this does not look anything like a rose to me . but on the lighter side i do enjoy a lot of your patterns
No problem at all, Mary. it could be a rose if you make the petals all around the calyx
The patterns I make are my interpretation of the flowers in the photographs. Just look at them from an artistic point of view – what could you do using crochet techniques…
