My mother spent endless hours crocheting and made
some of the lovliest doilies! She tried to teach
me when I was in my teens but I had no interest in
it whatsoever. Much later, a co-worker taught me
and I found it to be a terrific therapeutic pastime.
I was so lucky to inherit my mom's doilies and have
them as a memento of all her hard work. She loved
doing them though and was always looking for new
challenges!
I have a pattern shown HERE
for a cute little Christmas gift. I made it this year
and have made it in year's past.

Now that I do not see as well and seem
to spend all my time on a computer, I do
not crochet with small thread anymore. The
crocheted dolls were fun because they could
be made with yarn and still presented enough
of a challenge to be fun. |  |

I collect Beanie Babies and have been sent several by friends and family. The mascot of our group is Curly and each of us have one. We dress them and they have their own pages.
This is an outfit I crocheted for Curly, being modeled by
Fuzzy. It is white, trimmed in dark green, and features
a separate skirt and blouse. |

This group features
my new Sakura Bear from China as well as CurlyJo in an
Easter outfit, Lady Brisbane in a blue dress and my birthday bear.
Lady Brisbane is an Attic Treasure...I consider these a "cousin" of the Beanie Babies. I did not dress Sakura or my birthday bear...just left them
as is. I was making Curly Jo an outfit for each holiday at that time. No
pattern...just crocheting by "guess".
