Clevedon, which was lovely, albeit very cold!
You know I'm interested in the health benefits of stitching and creating? Well, here are 2 wonderful examples.
My lovely Mum -in - law crocheted these beautiful mats for me as a birthday gift, aren't they wonderful? She uses the finest thread. Mum is 85 years young, and has had suspected glaucoma. I could no sooner do this fine work than fly! I want to really set them off - maybe use them on a cushion cover? Any ideas welcome!
So glad you enjoyed your special day. The crocket mats are gifts to be cherished and extra special as they were made by your Mum.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Lovely gifts for you to enjoy and cherish.
ReplyDeleteThe crocheted work is lovely - so fine and delicate. It's marginally to tat with a very fine thread than crochet, but it's still challenging. I'm impressed with both!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that tatting used to be called "frivolite" should be an e-acute)?
A very Happy belated birthdat greetings Jules. Wow what gorgeous gifts you got.
ReplyDeletebirthday wishes from me. I think we will all be thrilled to bits if we are able to stitch when 85, your Mother had done so lovely crochet for you and the tatting is lovely as well
