November 21: Bountiful Napkin Rings

Pattern # 325:  Bountiful Napkin Rings

Thanksgiving is this week.  Yay!  I'm excited to eat lots of good food and enjoy time with my family.  This year, we are trying something new -- a buffet.  It will be way less stress than cooking a meal, and the menu looks fantastic.  But I have to admit that I will miss cooking / spending time in the kitchen!!  Next year, I can set the table with these napkin rings!

September 4: Oh! Danny Boy Doily - COMPLETE

Pattern # 247:  Oh! Danny Boy Doily

Another day, another doily.  This one makes me think of my Irish roots.  Now, my mom requested yesterday's as a birthday gift (a little over a month away), but I think this one might be better!  What do you think?  And what color would you crochet it?

And guess what?  Next week starts another week of American Girl patterns -- I really need to get started on some for Christmas!

Updated 3/17/2011:  I actually finished this doily awhile ago, but forgot to post it until now.  I stopped 1 row shy of complete, because I had other projects to do and liked how it looked! hahaha  Here are some pictures that I took:

Next to it is the Tea Time Doily by Denise Augostine

I was a bit unhappy with this pattern, as it did not lie flat.  I finally got it blocked and starched and it is flat -- but definitely not a perfect little circle! haha  I did it in the purple colors for Easter (because purple is the color of Royalty).

July 8: Americana Place Setting

Pattern #189: Americana Place Setting

We had a party on the 4th this year -- and how perfect would this have been for the table? Perfect, I tell ya! My parents could use a set as well, as they always have a fourth of July party, complete with backyard fireworks!
