Crochet doily :)

It was my dream to crochet this doily.
       
Frog

Many species of frog care for their offspring. For example some poison dart frogs lay their eggs on the forest floor so they can guard them and urinate on them to keep them moist.

 

Facts about frogs

• There are over 5,000 species of frog.
• Frogs don’t need to drink water as they absorb it through their skin.
• A frog’s call is unique to its species, and some frog calls can be heard up to a mile away.
• Some frogs can jump over 20 times their own body length; that is like a human jumping 30m.
• 
• Many species of frog care for their offspring. For example some poison dart frogs lay their eggs on the forest floor so they can guard them and urinate on them to keep them moist.
• Females of some frog species keep a regular check on their offspring (tadpoles) and if food becomes scarce she will deposit unfertilised eggs for them to eat.
• Asian tree frogs build nests in trees above water so that when the tadpoles hatch they fall directly into the water.
• Due to their permeable skin, typically biphastic life (aquatic larvae and terrestrial adults), and mid-position in the food web frogs and other amphibians are excellent biological indicators of the wider health of ecosystems.
• Since Pictish times, the frog has been considered lucky in Scotland. This is why stone frogs are commonly kept in gardens and often given as housewarming gifts.
• In Egypt the frog is the symbol of life and fertility, and in Egyptian mythology Heget is a frog-goddess who represents fertility

Crochet Tiger Lilies :)

What the Tiger Lily Means: 

The tiger lily is a type of lily that represents wealth.  It’s probably because of the spots on its petals that can be taken to look like coins or money. But simply by its looks, not a few find the tiger lily pretty special. Giving a tiger lily to someone you love (especially in the past) means that you have much money to spend that you can buy something so special.

The tiger lily also symbolizes pride because of its vivacious color. Although many flowers have vibrant colors like the tiger lily. Indeed, compared with many other blossoms, tiger lily can be more stunning and dazzling. Keep in mind that the meaning of “pride” in the tiger lily has a positive connotation which is confidence – and not vanity or arrogance.

Nobility is also often associated with tiger lily and this is the reason why this flower is also a symbol of wealth

Accessories...

I made 3 accessories...
They are 3 headbands

First, A butterfly made from multicolour 100% cotton yarn, size approximately 2in.

Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life.

Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls.

The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection.

Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life.

Doily, my old hard work

Doily, my old hard work that made from

many pieces of flowers, leaves and circles.
I used Irish crochet techniques for a first time.

I don't remember how many of them I crocheted.

but it took 4 ... 5 month to crochet and sew all of them together.

It was a gift for my brother-in-law and his wife.

A Flower

Have you ever heard
of a flower that never needs
Water, soil, or sunshine?

A flower that stays in full bloom
Through summer and winter
Through good times and bad

A flower that rarely gets smaller,
growing endlessly.
A few lost petals,
A little droop,
but, without a doubt,
it will always regrow
into something more beautiful.

I have one of those.
I call it  Doily (Love).
