I’d like to share another photo - Rose Seeded Lace Pillow and Spring Bride Crinoline Doily

Thank you Jewel; she used our Rose Seeded Lace Pillow and appliqued the Spring Bride Crinoline Girl Doily to the face. It turned out so cute!

I worked last night on the new pillow and have one side almost completed . It’s simple as can be but what I plan is to embellish this pillow on both sides. One side will be for Valentines and the other for St. Paddy’s. If you prefer one or the other, that would work just fine too. I just hope what I envision works out. The ruffle will be worked into a sc base that joins the front to the back. Then working one ruffle in the front loop to match the Valentine side and the other ruffle in the back lp of the sc base for the St. Patrick’s Day side.

Today I’ve been puny again. Just not up to myself and ended up postponing my orthodontist appt for Thursday morning instead. As the day progresses I am feeling better and plan to watch a little Food Network - I love the afternoon shows while I crochet on the vintage doily which I started over earlier this morning, in pink thread - Cebelia. So far I love the results.

In talking with my best friend and tester, Vicki, on the phone yesterday afternoon we felt this vintage doily would work best in pink- hence the reason I’m reworking it. I realized I’m quickly closing in on deadlines. If only I could get out of this slump I’m in. I love designing but admit, the deadlines are playing havoc with my sense of peace and need for rest.

Tonight we’re having leftovers! I have some leftover turkey from our post-Thanksgiving meal and I plan to make turkey almondine (sp). It’s so good! And I still have fresh cranberries (not so fresh but frozen) I’ll cook up to go with it and have the fruit, nut and rice casserole from a couple of nights ago.
