i found this lovely little tutorial here. and i couldn't wait to use up some of my lace scraps and doilies. i have a weakness for these pretties. i absolutely cannot resist picking them up at a garage sale or flea market.
think of the hours spent making some of these pieces. i certainly don't have the patience to create something so tiny and delicate. even here, you can see the gigantic chunky stitches i used for this!
we are on SPRING BREAK this week! what a glorious treat. i am a homebody, and it just makes my heart sing to think that i have 5 whole days to be home. we will be busy, as i am not the only one on spring break, mr. elliott and little miss beatrice are home, too. we've got a matinee planned for this afternoon - mars needs moms??? (it's all about the popcorn for me.)happy, happy spring, friends!
ohhh very crafty of u miss lynn
