A Created Flower Gives Power

Injured in 2001; I live with cronic pain.  At first I was very depressed but after deciding I could crochet while reclining I decided to empower myself by creating something pretty and useful.  I started making gifts for family and items to sell at a local shop.  These sold well and I began to feel like I was of some value again.  I created this flower by crocheting small to large stiches on loops in the round.  It is embellished  with a vintage button in the center and a crochet leaf on the side.  The hat is part of the poncho and hat set that I made many different styles of.  I never know what type of flower will come out until I start making it.  I don't know that I could say I should deserve to win; but I sure would like to.  Winning would make me feel like I was out there shouting to the world; "I am still alive!  I am out here in this world creating yet!!"   My created flowers really do give me power; the power to feel useful again.
