the doily diaries...

olive green

Victorian red

the latest entries

the olive green one finished yesterday and blocked and steamed and sorted

and the Victorian rose one also blocked and steamed

makes such  a difference and it's not a hard thing to do

just wish the light was better

one more grey morning 

but who cares when you have two finished flowery doilies to add to the list!!!

just kidding.....

later!!!

latest addition to the addiction...

now on to the colours that came yesterday

:) :) :)

yet one more....

I keep finding more and more and more and they must be done

I can not

NOT make them

I have the thread so I may as well use it

so 

after days of rain and storms 

and all hell breaking loose outside

we sit in the sun today

or at least it came up this morning

and shone on the moss in the kitchen window

and George bloomed his little head off

and his scent drifts through the air

and

makes me wonder.....

which pattern will be next!!!!!!!!

hope the sun shines on you.....

and good scents drift in your air.....

:)

damn and blast....

 I had my phone...so I took some snaps of the clouds that are already over us

there is a tropical storm lurking over Florida

which is a long long way away from our neck of the woods

but it seems she reaches far and wide

hope she burns herself out by the time she gets here tomorrow

we took a little trip "into town"

as a friend of ours used to say

we have no town 

so it's funny they should say that!!!

anyhoo

food and necessities were on the list

and a trip to

Wallyworld too

you know 

I keep seeing/reading people say that there are folk

 who go to Wallyworld in curlers and pajamas

 in all the years I've been going

 I have never ever 

ever 

seen anyone in their PJ's

or curlers

I have seen people in their slippers and "lounge wear" at the local gas'n'go

up the road...that's always fun!!! but I don't go there anymore...no need!!!  he! he!

and while we were in 

the big W

guess what I came across

for

$3.97

if I had known!!!!!!

;0

almost there...

just a couple of rows to go and we'll have

a doily -that- had -to- be

I got the thread

more than enough because running out is the pits

but who knew I was going off on this doily binge

certainly not I

  now I have a stash to bust when the mood hits and with all those delightful doily doings out there ....

we won't be running out again!!!

so with a fresh cup of coffee beside me on the desk

and less heavy questions on the radio

I've decided I'm going to finish this 

today

now

in a minute

coz I have some fabric to play with next

while the doily gets blocked

......

see ya!!

:)

expletives deleted...

so...while contemplating the eternal question on the radio

who put the bop in the bop she bop she bop

or more to the point... the ram.... in the ram a dam a ding dong

heavy man ....heavy!!!!

I continued with the 

doily -that- must -be

only to be confronted by the other eternal question

WHY???????????

do we run out of thread when things are going so well????

I guess a quick trip to the useless craft store is not a question

it will be a fact

damn and blast!!!!

may all your questions of the day be answered

♥

puzzle for you...

it isn't a very clear picture to begin with so sorry for the fuzz

well for those of you who can read a crochet chart

I want to make this doily

it has been calling me for weeks now and as I have finished the mint green one and only have one more on the hook

I need another

I know you know what that means!!!

anyway

the puzzle is right there in the very centre 

there are dc's that don't belong to anything as far as I can see on row 3

we have

12 trdc in a magic ring

then we have a row of 3 ch and a sc

fine that works

but then we come to row 3 where there are dc's that stand alone, 

that aren't attached to either the row below or the one with the dc ch 3 dc  into these strange stand alone dc's

can you see them?

please say you can.....

what am I not understanding or seeing??

it is driving me crazy and cuckoo because I know if one of you can see it or knows how to do it

it will be the simplest most sensible answer ever

how can you have stitches like that?

I really hope you an see what it is I'm talking about....coz if you can't then 

I am royally

•  "attached to another object by an incline plane, wrapped helicly around an axis".

(screwed... 

for those of you who don't watch the big bang theory!!!)

it is such a pretty doily and I so want to see it made and have it and stare at it in the flesh thread

look at it... reclining on the chair in someone's bathroom.... like it's normal to have a doily on the chair in the bathroom for no reason whatsoever !!!!!

like it's normal to have a chair in the bathroom...my bathroom barely has room for the bath!!!

 :):)

but that one thing is stopping me

I have started it and looked at blown up pictures....I've tried to make a dc on top of a dc but it doesn't work

so please...

pretty please with a cherry on top

♥♥♥

can someone help

please

before my head explodes

:) :) :)

edited....Elaine came through and figured it out ...it's more or less a loop attached to itself   I almost had it ...someone else's head is always better than one's own... big huge sigh!!!
