Crochet flower

So....I was looking at crochet flowers for sale for use with cards etc.  Pretty spendy. I thought....How hard can that be? I have made ENTIRE Afgans...I can make a flower.  HA HA silly me.  I downloaded some free instructions and picked the brain of a woman at work who crochets really beautiful doilies etc.  Well THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO!! Here is my first flower that I could actually use for cards etc.  Let's see...new crochet hooks (that were too large), 2 balls of yarn (that were too large as well)....approximately 10.00 later and still no flowers.  My friend took pity on me and dug up a smaller size yarn and VIOLA....one whole flower! How funny is that?

This measures approx 2 X 2 inches, after all this I will probably go ahead and make a few more :-)
