How was your Thanksgiving holidays?
Ours was fun, with lots of good food and family time :)  And of course, I ended up eating too much! 
Although I really couldn't find enough time to sew over the weekend, 
I somehow managed to crochet a little...
I love making flowers with crochet, and this time, I crocheted a flower round seat cushion, using double strands of soft acrylic yarn.
I followed a pattern from this Japanese crochet book, with some changes here and there.

I'm not sure if this a finished project or not, because I may end up adding a cushion foam and a fabric cover on the back, or add several rows of crochet stitches to make it into a stool "cover" instead... I'll see.

The petals are made of "popcorn" stitches, which adds a textured effect.

I really I love the puffiness of these petals! 
But a bumpy seat cushion may be a little awkward for some people...?  lol.
 The back side of the seat cushion looks like this.
