My Mom likes roses. I'm pretty sure after nearly 30 years of us giving her roses for every conceivable holiday and reason...she's getting pretty tired of them. :) Hummingbirds as well. What can I say? We aren't real good at giving gifts, so when we find something, we tend to overdo it. Great thing about Mom though, she never complains, though she has been pointing out 'other' things recently as a subtle hint. Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

This pattern is from the May/June '08 issue of Crochet Today! magazine, page 53. I enjoy filet crochet and Mom likes roses and I had bought several skeins of yellow and off-white Carron Simply Soft for no apparent reason just days before...it was kismet. :)
