Recently, I have been creating quite a few crochet appliques, and I still have a couple more in mind!

What can I say? Crochet appliques are just fun, little, and quick to make. And they allow me to elegantly put off finishing all the other, huge half-done projects that have been lying around in my living for way too long!
