March

March is a bittersweet month for us, but nature helps calm us.  We've been collecting a few little gifts from nature and placing them in a vase.  We've never been too fond of cutting flowers and only having them for a bit (rather have them in a pot and plant them), so we display other things like leaves, rocks, shells, and sticks in out vases.  Of course we had to add a little crocheted doily.  I couldn't find the actual tutorial I used, but saw this one and the pattern is very similar and is easier to follow.  It looks like it would work up a little smaller than what I made, so just increase a bit more to get the desired size.
