Just taking a break

I will be away soon on a holiday so I might not have much time to crochet. But I'm trying to crochet small balls at the moment so I can make something creative out of this colored balls. 
But sure I will shop for crochet hooks and yarns...cant wait to get the colored ones cos I'm really stuck with limited sizes of crochet hooks.

Tiny plant crochet

Just finished working with my tiny plant, well it took time for me to find a small glass jar or bottle to be the plant pot or vase. It's full height is 18 cms. so it's cute. I used 3 colors of yarn: off white for the base, brown for the center and light brown(you won't notice it's light brown). For the leaves I used different colors of yarn, (whatever i got). I already mentioned in my earlier post the link for the leaf pattern.
Hook size is 10 (3.25mm).
