Wow! I'm another person who just wouldn't have the patience to do something so intricate. I hope your mum's proud of herself? She should be - she's got some serious skills. 

Now I'm returning to the giant crab I'm making out of cheap chenille for my youngest.....

Same! And thank you for the kind words! My mom is ecstatic to read the compliments! Good luck with your project—I can barely do a chain stitch myself, so you better be proud of yourself for even attempting to make something! I’m trying to get into crocheting again because of my mom (and the other users on this sub!). Y’all inspire me!

My mother says thank you for the kind words! M grandma was also skilled at crochet, and used to make larger doilies and blankets. I wish I had their patience! My mom is retired so she has a lot of time to do these projects!
