Down at the bottom of the garden

Snail!

I've always loved snails being a keen gardener you'd think it would be the opposite but no!

I have fond memories of collecting snails in the garden as a child studying them drawing them and racing them.

A strange love you may think......but imagine my excitement when I came across a pattern for a crocheted snail.

I love going to my local library I love the smell and the quiet atmosphere and I always come away with arm fulls of books usually craft books and among them this time I had "super-super cute crochet"

 

It available on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Super-Cute-Crochet-Brigitte-Read/dp/1907030247

Or if your very lucky your local library!

I made the African Land Snail

Here she is Shelly the snail! I know an imaginative name :)

I love this daffodils sold in aid of Marie Claire a lovely mix of Narcissus

 

Still some snow in the back ground!

She's off!

Would love to hear your comments and maybe hear from fellow snail lovers :)
