Wedding present complete

What a week......

Busy at the office.  Getting ready for vacation,

and crocheting.  I finished the doily!!!!!

This was so much fun to make.  I love the colors and style.

I can't wait to get a beautiful cut glass bowl or vase to go with it.

Doily update

I have been working along on the doily for Morgan's wedding. There just isn't enough time in the day to crochet, read and work.  Which one should I give up?

Doilies and weddings

My best friend's daughter is getting married the end of September and I  decided to make her a doily to brighten up a table.  I grew up having these everywhere throughout our home.   

Doilies seem to have been lost by recent generations.  I hope they will be resurrected.

Here is a glimpse......

I wish I could use this as my RSVP.  See you in September!

Sporty Sweater

What a great weekend when one project is complete and another can be started.  I love this sweater.  It is considered a beginner pattern but I don't think it looks like one.

Thank you to my handsome model.

This is a problem I seem to have.  

Cute as can be

I love making baby clothes.  Dresses, pants, sweaters, hats.  I'll make it all.  These are a few things I have made in the past year and would make them again if the need or want arises.  I need to find a couple good models. Does anyone know one?

Weekend work

I have been working on a couple different projects this weekend.  Between grocery shopping, cleaning and laundry I was able to work on Julian's sweater along with starting a new tote bag.  

Happy Friday

I love cut glass and I love yarn.

Why not combine the two?

A few years ago I started putting yarn remnants in this bowl and look what happened.  

Adding my hooks gave it a little jazz.

Orange..orange..orange

A couple weeks ago my grandson called and asked me to make him a ORANGE sweater.  

Well of course I am going to make him one!!!

Bright orange and I will add a bit of white.

Welcome to my blog

Months ago my sister and I talked about me starting a blog with all my  crochet goodies.  Well here we are.  My first post.  Welcome!!
