Sweet Flowers?

(A mystery project entry.)

Aren't they cute?

Spring has Sprung!!!

All spring, since flowers have been popping up

I've been sharing pictures of them over at

Grace Colored Glasses

And I loved this spring floral doily pattern

when I started it back in December.

I tucked it away when other

projects had priority and

forgot about it.  :(

BUT...

now I have REMEMBERED!!!

And I still LOVE it!

As I work on blue sweateriness, I will probably

need a break now and again.

The little sweet flower motifs for this

Springtime Floral Doily

out of my Vintage Floral Doilies 

by Elizabeth Ann White

will be just the thing to

rejuvenate me!

If you haven't seen the other two patterns

I've made from this book, you should

take time to pop over to these blog entries:

Beautiful Butterflies

and

Dainty Lady in Sage

I've linked to the Annie's Attic site on both of those

pages if you want to take a look at the book cover

which just happens to show this Springtime doily

in its exquisite completeness!!!

Maybe you will fall in love with it too!

What a beautiful way to do some stash busting!!!

Beautiful Butterflies

My mommy LOVES hummingbirds and butterflies.

So imagine my delight when I found this pretty doily pattern:

Doesn't it just scream "SPRING!!!"?

She loved it, flaws and all.

I was using up some stash colors I was given
and I had to make them stretch a bit so
I tweaked the edging of the butterflies a bit.

I also messed up the center and ended up
with less stitches around the edge than I needed
to use the number of butterflies in the pattern.
I will pay better attention next time.

It was just as well since I was short
on thread anyway.

The Butterfly Garden Doily pattern is from
the Annie's Attic book:  Vintage Floral Doilies
by Elizabeth Ann White

I also made the Sweet Southern Belle Doily from that book.

All the patterns in the book call for using a size 7 (1.65mm) hook.
There are 7 floral doilies with raised motif aspects.
