Mothers Day Card

This year I am going for the family star. No, I am kidding. My sisters are both making photo books in any case, so I think they win, but I did decide to make a card and so came up with this yesterday.

I have been thinking about some crochet flowers for a while, but there are crochet flowers and crochet flowers (you know what I mean). So, these are supposed to be violets (pattern here). I have for Mum some Crabtree and Evelyn hand therapy in 'Wisteria', which is also purply blue, but I wasn't going to try to crochet wisteria. I know my limits. And we now have a little family Violet.

I don't think my stems add anything to this, and perhaps I should have drawn those in with my watercolour pencils. Next time.
