Crocheting......

My mom was asking me for a long time to

start a bigger project than the

little tatted pieces I'd been doing.

We'll be shifting into a new house by the end of next year

and so we decided to make

some stuff for the new home.

I'm so excited about it that I'm brimming over with ideas !

Table covers, cushions, bed spreads , valances,

embroideries for the walls,

doilies, dressing table sets,

towels, kitchen stuff.......

If I do "somehow" get to make all of it ,

my house is going to look like

a vintage Victorian era house

(read =old fashioned?)

or like a museum of some sort!

Well,

The first project I've started is a

Dining table set of six table-mats,

one centre runner,

six napkins

and some doilies for the centre.

I've made the crochet edging onto four mats

till now and the fifth one is in progress.

I'm really confused as to how to adorn the corners....

an embroidered motif,

or a tatted or crocheted motif.....

Just cant decide!

This is the edging I've decided for the centre piece......

Hope it turns out well!

I'll try to update whenever possible......

Here's another try at the crochet doily

This time it's a pineapple pattern,

It looks like tiger stripes in the garden!!!!

(LOL)
