A Love of Doilies

Hello!  How is your day?  

I'd love to share with you today some of the doilies that I've been making as of late.  

I enjoy the details and delicateness of doilies.  

The above doily I just finished for my mother-in-law as she loves big doilies and loves red.  

She likes the red/black combo but I was without black crochet thread so used a cream instead. 

This doily is called Romantic Moment. 

I found it in a Magazine for crocheting.  The above link is to Ravelry that if you would like to try it you easily can.  

If for some reason it won't come up...I can take a picture for you from my magazine.  

It was the biggest doily I have ever made, and it was quite a challenge as it got bigger.  I do love how it turned out, and I do hope that my mother-in-law enjoys it.  

I think I'd like to make another one of these, but all in white for my home.

Funny thing about making doilies...I'm not sure if I have more than one that I've kept for my home.  

I do have doilies I've found or have been given.  

I love them all! 

This doily is called Mini Cluster Doily.

It was fun to do this as there were a couple different variations I haven't tried yet. 

This doily is called Country Starlet.  

I didn't block it so it's not as pointed as it could be. 

It's so nice to work with the small yarn, but I think that tatting with the fine thread is out of my league. ~smiles~ 

I think doilies add a special feminine touch to our homes.  

A coziness and holiness that calls out...a lady lives here. 

I hope you have a wonderful day!
