Love it, as it sure is one of those thoughts right before me. I was just thinking yesterday a touch of green a touch of lace and a touch of flowers and I will feel spring at my house.

Spring???????We got winter cries lol
I am ignoring the wind, the snow forecast etc. today and as much as possible. Winter is about gone and time flies. So dress up your house with that lace,green in your case green and blues and flowers. Then sing Sunshine always makes me happy. You are my sunshine etc.

How beautiful! I used to crochet,too, and know this took a lot of time and concentration to do. They don't publish the craft books they used to,with all the patterns and stitches.

Just beautiful. I really admire people who can do that kind of work. I think they laugh at time. It takes a long time to make and it will last a very long time as it is passed down to other family members.

This is one of those things that beautiful , lovely , fantastic, does not even begin to describe. Thank you for sharing these pictures. I do not crochet but this reminds me of the work my Granny, Mom , MotherInLaw and Cousin did. Just do not know why I didn't pick it up. Glad your old friend came out of hiding and now graces your table.

My mom could crochet like that and I always wanted to learn. All I can manage are simple afghans and a few sexy halter tops.(back in the 70's) I envy that you were able to do such a beautiful tablecloth . It is absolutely gorgeous.
