wow fantastic work, very creative!!!!
wow! The parasols and the wire basket are amazing! TECHNICALLY I can crochet. But when I was pregnant with my 5 year old I started a daisy crocheted blanket. I swear I worked on it the entire pregnancy. I still have the square foot of blanket in a bag that I actually completed!
