Thanks for all the nice comments about Marilyn. The little impersonator wants to go to Vegas now, but I think she may have to stay a bit closer to home. And Miek, I'm taking the challenge to do an Angelina Jolie to heart!

Feeling old-fashioned
Am I channelling my mother, grandmother and all the tantes (i.e. great-aunts)? I don't know what's come over me with this urge to do thread crochet. I grew up in a home covered with crocheted doilies, antimacassars, dresser scarves, etc. and I hoped never to see them again in a home of my own. And now look what I made... a thread crochet needle case and scissors case. Sure goes faster than cross stitch. If it interests you at all, you can find the instructions here and here.

The tools look marvelous! Maybe they'll keep the doilies from invading.
ReplyDeleteWhoever you're channeling, these are great!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, those are so pretty. I grew up with doily's on every table and antimacassars on every chair and couch arm too. I was always running around straightening them out because when you have brother's, they keep you busy.
ReplyDeleteI use doily's in every room myself. I never thought much about it until your post.
Your set is beautiful.
Oh Annie I know what you mean about doilys, my gran made hundreds of the things, and sometimes, just sometimes I have this feeling that I too need to make some... eeeek what is the world coming to!
ReplyDeleteLove the needlebook and scissor holder, a nce way to doily!
