um...Crochet???

In an effort to learn to make these...Pinned Image
I had to teach myself to crochet. So, here's my attempts.  HA!  I thought I better try something that I can read the instructions before I bit off more than I could chew with the flowers.
 This was 3 different attempts to figure out a pattern.
 Another attempt at a flower, but not the African flowers that I wanted to make.
 Then I thought that preemie baby "clouches" would be easy.  NOT!
 I thought maybe thicker yarn was going to work better.  NOT!!
 Then...I think I have found one that I can make and actually donate to a
hospital for the babies.
 This one is for a larger baby... not bad, huh?
 And look at me go...this one is my favorite.  I do however wish I'd done a
pink center on the flower. 
But hey,  I've got lots of yarn now...
I know I've got a lot to learn and a long ways to go, but I'm having fun. 
(sorry about the size of the large picture, I can't make it fit right!)

These look great Aunt Myrna! I especially love that last hat. It is adorable. I'll have to learn how to make these.
