Grandma Daisy...

Grandma Daisy
is my latest design...
I am very excited about this new pattern
and do hope you will be too...




If you would like to leave a comment
I will draw a lucky winner by the start of next week
and one of my lovelies will be the first to receive a free copy of the pattern...

I am about half way through writing it out on the computer...
So there will be nothing better than a deadline...



I did find that the older I get 
The harder it is to get up once down...

    Wow!!! Seriously, I've been crocheting for forty years so I'm not easily impressed by new patterns unless they are quite spectacular. Grandma Daisy is over the top. Congratulations on another brilliant design!

    I LOVE this cushion!!! I just bought your Grandma Love cushion after swooning over it FOREVER!! I am so excited to make it!! My Great Grandmother taught me how to crochet, it was our special thing that we did together. She passed away last week at 93 1/2 years old. She always made each new baby in the family a blanket when they were born and has asked that I keep the tradition going... I am honoured to keep crocheting on her behalf :) I love all your patterns, thanks for all the great projects!!

    Hello Michelle,

    I came by way of Sandy at Teacup Lane. I looked back at many of your posts and I must say, you are very creative and talented! I also looked at your other blog and etsy shop. I was hoping to find a copy of the flag she showcased. But upon reviewing your older posts, I see you made it for your son last July. It is fabulous! Daisies are one of my favorite flowers and the pillow you made is so pretty and cheerful. I also love your outfits!

    Happy New Year!
