This one’s for you, MOM!

As you might (or might not) know, I am going through my second childhood.
I am guessing that it is hereditary, because my parents are still children at heart.
My mother collects dolls and loves every one of them.
She is 85 years old and still works full-time.
One of her many joys in life, is to give out little crochet items to patrons at the clinic where she works.
She says it brings joy, not only to the sick patients, but to her as well.
I usually try to make her a basket full of tiny gifts, every month or so.
They are usually little pins, ornaments, button buddies, bracelets,
pencil toppers or whatever I can think up at the time.
Mother’s day is coming soon, and the long awaited Spring has finally arrived.
And flowers are blooming everywhere. Unfortunately that brings the dreaded pollen.
But I still love flowers, and crocheted ones are pretty safe.
So for Mother’s Day, the All-in-One Flower Pencil Topper is a good choice.

This pencil topper can dress up your pencils and pens and brighten your mood.
You can use them as party favors or for school give-away treats.
It is a very quick and easy pattern, and a good way to use up scrap yarn.
You can use just about any type of yarn or thread or hook that you want.
It only takes about six to ten minutes to make one.
Enjoy! Pan
