You really are encouraging me to get out my crochet hooks! I shared a link to your snowflakes with my mom, she used to make a lot of doilies and I thought she might enjoy these. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah, I just would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your amazing Blog and the terrific patterns! I have done 3 so far, two of which are currently drying in stiffener this morning. The first round are gifts for family and friends, then after they're distributed, I'll be making more for us. You really brightened my Christmas, and you're helping me to increase my skill level as well. Hope you and those you love have a bright beautiful Christmas!
