Circle of Angel's Doily

Time does fly, as they say when your having fun.  I have finished the Circle of Angel's doily I've been working on this month.  Thought I would share a picture of it with you. 
Sunday we had our grand daughter's belated birthday party. There were 10 family members here, and we had a great time.  It misted rain all afternoon, so our plans for an outside party crashed, and we had it inside.  I learned you can't get cake icing off of a chair seat cover.  It is Purple of all colors. If anyone knows the secret to getting it off I would welcome the info. 
I guess I will  begin the curtains to match my pineapple tablecloth I just finished.  A designer in my group read my quest  for a pattern and offered to draft out a pattern to match the cloth, so now I will see if I can make it.  Can that get any better? :)
Let me know if you like the doily!

Finished Star Tablecloth

I was really happy to get it finished Sunday Aug. 21-11.

Would love to find a pattern either to buy, or free to

make some kitchen curtains to match.  Haven't had

any success in finding a pattern yet.  Would welcome

and help in finding a pattern.

Thank you for stopping by.

CAN CAN Doily

Here is the newest item I have just finished.  I have already gifted this doily to a friend. I could not find a use for it in my home.

Knitting and Crochet

Hi Everyone,
I guess you may think I have totally forgotten about my blog, well, actually I haven't.  I have been checking in every once in awhile to see if  there is any new comments, or new followers.
Now to catch you up on what has been going on in my little corner of Missouri, and craft spot.  I have been knitting.  I've made two doilies.  Yes, after 4 years of knitting here and there along I finally dived in and made two doilies.  Were they hard, no not really, but mistakes I made a plenty, but kept frogging, and redoing until I got them made.  The One took me about a month to make.  I started it over 6 times, yes, I did, but I was not going to let that doily beat me.  It was designed, and made by the author, and If she could I could. (smile) So, I just backed my ears and jumped in for the long haul. LOL Oh, I am going after another one later when I get recooped from this one. I haven't made the one I actually want to make yet. But, I do love this one.  It is 18" across.  I used size 2 DPN's, 10 thread. After breaking two pair of size 1 circulars I learned that I had to use the correct size needles for the thread. Why didn't I know that (banging head) yep, I had to spend X amt. of money before I looked up the info. on needle and thread compatible.
Just fininsed a little Snowflake doily.  My group is having a CAL with it, and we are beading it.  The design ruffles, so I did a bit of tweaking to get it to lay flat.
That about  sums it up for now.

Newest Doily I crocheted

This doily is a Vintage doily back in the mid 50's. It is from a book that was handed down to me from my mother's collection. Picot doily is the name of the design. I have revamped the design to replace the Picot's with beads, and having a crochet along with it. This one was made with size 10 thread #8 hook, and 8/0 beads.
I am remaking the design with size 20 thread, #10 hook, and 8/0 beads.
This design is so easy, and a fast one to make.

Sharing more Snowflakes I've made

Two of these are not from the Snowcatcher blog; they are right top, and left bottom, but the other 2 are. If you love to make snowflakes I would encourage you to visit her blog. My tree is going to be just gorgeous this Christmas.
I think you might be able to click on the picture and get a larger view of them.
Don't know if a collage picture view works like that too.
Ok, off to make another snowflake this one is an Irish Rose snowflake by Marika Simon. It is beautiful too. Oh, and I am going to put glow in the dark on some of my snowflakes if not all of them.
