I failed at crocheting flowers

Last night, my in-front-of-the-tv project was trying to figure out how to make crocheted flowers. I printed out multiple directions from the Internet, but failed miserably with the easiest one I tried.

All was not lost.
I was able to make circles (kind of), both flat (kind of) and wavy.

This wavy one is centered with a turquoise rhinestone pin.

This one has a clip-on earring center.
