Well it has been awhile since I last posted in here but I have you know I have been busy, busy, busy.
This coming Sunday (Easter Sunday) is my wonderful Mum's birthday, so this year I thought I would plan ahead and make her a present instead.
Last year I made her a Spider Web Block shawl for Mother's Day and she just loved it. Well at least that is what she told me *giggles*
Now what was I on about? *scratches head and reads last few lines*
Oh that's right, Mum's birthday and making her present. I am so forgetful at times it isn't even funny!
So I found this pattern on Annie's Crochet Daily (she also does knitting, fabric and other goodies) and when I saw it, I knew it was just right for my Mum.

You know how you can actually see someone in something and no matter how hard you try not to keep going back to it--you do? Well I did lol
Anywoo, if you want to know the drama that went on in purchasing the wool and deciding on a different stitch than the one mentioned in the pattern, then have a look at my previous post by clicking here.

Now the date I wrote that post was March 18th 2014, it is now April 17th 2014, nearly a month later and alas I have still not finished it. I would never profess to being a fast crocheter and given that I have the onset of arthritis in my hands, I have days where it will be work one row and take the next two hours off so I can get some feeling back in my fingers and wrists,
Oh I do so waffle on, sorry about that.
Anyway I have explained to my Mum that I haven't finished it yet so it will possibly end up as a combined birthday/mother's day present. So now Mum wants me to bring it up to her place on Saturday so she can see it.
All I can say is, I hope she likes it!
Anyway toodles all and happy crafting.
