My grandma crocheted little delicate teacups to use as nut cups at my Dad & Mom's wedding.  I've had one siting on my desk for several years, wishing that I could make one as well.

I taught myself how to crochet about a year and a half ago.  Since learning the basics, I've been in search for a YouTube video or a pattern to use to try to make a crocheted teacup.

The pattern finally showed up yesterday!  It's not exactly the one my Grandma used (it called for the use of a glue gun to hook the handle, cup and saucer together - grandma did NOT use a glue gun on hers!).  But with some tweaks of my own, I figured out how to make it as one piece.

Here is a photo of the crocheted teacup that I made, next to the one that my grandma made.  What do you think?

Sometimes it's important to step away from the screens in our lives and take in some nature.

All three of my older sisters have birthdays this month.  I've been busy making gifts for them and their puppies and their spouses who also have birthdays in March.  WHEW!
