back door window,
the back entry window,
along the wall,
and drifting down on the old piano.
I found a "snowflake crochet" booklet at a junk store
and fell in love with the lacey snowflakes on the cover.
These pretty pieces are made with cotton bedspread crochet thread.
I have only made a few and need a lot more practice to
make mine look as pristine and perfect as they do
in the booklet.
I really enjoyed the process of crocheting them and
have several plans on how to use them.......
which I will show at a later date.
Do you like thread crochet over yarn crochet?
I also came upon a pattern of crocheted roses.
These are also fun to make
as well as crocheted flowers. I am not sure what
I will use these for...............any ideas??
Along with that I am still busy stitching Christmas and
birthday gifts that are coming up in a few weeks.
Are you creating Christmas gifts.......or do you
prefer to purchase gifts?
I would love to hear!

I love the snowflakes. A little spray starch is great for pulling them into shape, pin them out and spray with a little starch. Hope that helps. I love to make some of my gifts, its usually a combination of both.
I love thread crochet. I taught myself to crochet when I was in high school by crocheting thread doilies. I love the attention that must be paid to the patterns. I'm not sure I have seen roses like you have done here. Are they stitched in a long pattern then rolled and stitched into a rose? they are lovely.

I like the look of thread crochet. I am still new at learning how to do it-but my love for the finished projects will keep me going!
Your snowflakes are absolutely beautiful.
I really like the kitchen set! What a lovely gift idea!
I guess I prefer yarn crochet; it's always difficult for me to change to a smaller hook. When I do thread crochet, I take my instructions to the copy machine, then mark off each row on the copy as I proceed. This keeps me on the right row. :) I just make things and have them on hand for when I need a gift.
I love those snowflakes. My sister made some years ago and I think I still have the booklet. I like making gifts...handmade is so much nicer to give AND receive! Hugs, Diane
Those are very delicate and pretty snowflakes and I really love the roses, too. I don't crochet at all but I admire those who can and I enjoyed seeing those beautiful pieces!
The snowflakes are sweet. It gets you in the mood for winter.
Hi
Thought I'd pop by and let you know I'm back in Bloglandia. I tried to reactivate my original Blog, but sadly couldn't. So....

The snow flakes are lovely. I have several that a friend made for me years ago.
Love all your sweet things. I have some snow flakes stiffened( I guess)...I hang them by fishing line at my window for Christmas. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
