Mom's Birthday!

So my Mom's birthday is tomorrow...I thought of stuff to make last minute so I didn't get to finish everything. I ended up just making part of her gift...I recently got into crocheting!! It took me a week just to get used to the basics (watching youtube videos over and over)! But wow, it's amazing at all the things you can make! We'll see how it goes. If you remember, my mom loves orange so I bought some cotton yarn to attempt to make the coaster here! I unraveled it several times before I got it! And I didn't have two shades of orange so I just made the whole flower one shade of orange. So this is my first completed crochet project!


Then I attempted to make my first shaped card! Wasn't as bad as I thought! And of course it's orange!



Decided to make it a shaped easel card!


This was pretty fun to make and will definitely make more of these!
Time to go to bed!
