Miniature Picot Lace Doily

Hello Friends,

Today is July 1st. and just a few month's left to get all our Christmas crocheting done.  I have been shopping for the past 6 month's for our grandchildren, and I have one large tub full of things already.  Actually I started right after Christmas when there was still some really good things on Clearance.
 
Last week I went to Hobby Lobby looking for something, and saw they had a lot of good craft things on the clearance wall.  To my surprise there was a set of interchangeable hook's for a bit over $10.  I put what I was going to buy back, and
bought one.  I have been wanting a set forever seems like. 

I am still knitting on my afghan, and it is growing I will soon begin on the 4th. ball of yarn.  But, I couldn't wait until I got the afghan made before I used one of the hooks, so I saw that Cylinda Matthews had shared one of her little patterns, so I got out my set, choose the size 8 hook, and away I went making the little doily.
It is called Miniature Picot Lace Doily, and can be found here:

If you are looking for a little doily, something fast to make this is a good one.  I use little doilies on my wall shelves.

I used Aunt Lydia Coral, size 10 thread, and the size hook suggested. 

Thank you for stopping by, and come visit me again.

 

Hello Blogging Friends

Hello Friends,

Raining here all day, but right now has let up.  Sun looks to be trying to come out too.

I am also working on another Pillowcase Doll.  It is going to have a crinoline doll crocheted on the front of the skirt, but I just haven't gotten around to blocking all the pieces, and making the doll.
  I have been quiet lately because I am knitting an afghan.  I have it big enough now to give you a picture of my WIP.  It has taken me a month and half to get it this big, and I am on my 3rd skein of yarn.

It is called Sweet Scallops Throw, and you can find it here: If for some reason that doesn't work for you then just do a search for Sweet Scallops Throw. This is a very easy pattern.  If you know knit, purl, purl 3 tog, and yo you can make it.

Hope you are all have a good crafting day.

Lip Balm covers

I have been at it again making Lip Balm Covers.  You can get the link to the pattern a bit
farther down in my blog.  I just did my own things with adding the leaves, and second flower.

These are very easy to make, and I think will be very welcomed gifts.  They are on a key ring.

Enjoy, and have a great day!

Finished January CAL making the squares for the Lapghan

Hello friends, I have had the squares finished for awhile now, but couldn't download a picture to my blog.  I finally figured out I needed another browser, so now I am sharing a picture of the finished CAL.
It is more the size of an afghan then a lapghan since I used the celtic lace join.  I am very pleased with the outcome of it.

Hello From Missouri

Hello Friends,

It's been awhile since I have posted a picture.  I have been working on my squares.  I have them bordered, and all but one blocked.  Life has just been so busy lately that I just can't seem to fit everything in each day that I would like to fit in.

I have made a Butterfly Chair set for a friend, and didn't want to spoil the surprise by showing it here until she got the gift.  So, now that she has gotten it I can share a picture with everyone.

I am sorry I can not share the website I copied this pattern from.  I failed to save the website, and have been searching for it, with no success in finding it again.  If you know where I can get this pattern again I would be ever so thankful to you.

Spring has finally come on the calendar, but we are still have cool temp's.  I see the flowers are coming up, and Easter Lilies blooming in spite of the cold. 

Ok I will share a couple views of the chair set with you.  This chair set is different than the ones you normally see in that it has a solid crochet up the middle of the wings like the body of the butterfly. 

Hope you enjoy my pictures.

I finished the lapghan, and it is more the size of an afghan since I used the celtic lace join.  I have been trying to add it to my blog unsuccessful until I downloaded the firefox browser.  Hope you enjoy it, and have joined us in this CAL, and you are welcome to share a picture of your finished work with us.
