The perfect flower

I recently got some amazing crochet hooks in a swap and am using one now on my hunt for the perfect crocheted flower. That really sounds easier than it is. Yes, there are a lot of patterns out there for those and I have a bunch of books with patterns too, but it's always not quite what I want. So I decided to make up my own pattern and just try out a few different things.

This must be number 3 or 4 now:

The first two colored rounds are ok, but the yarn I used for the third round isn't stiff enough. Plus the yellow center could be better too.
So the hunt will continue!

And I was tagged by Di. I'm going to just ignore rule number 3, but if you want to be tagged, consider yourself tagged!The Rules of the Tagging

7 random facts about me:

5.I own a cell phone, but seldomly use it. Actually most of the time the batteries are dead and my friends know better than to try and call me on that one.

7.I read all of the Anne Rice books and loved them, my taste in books is as weird as my taste in music sometimes is.
