This is a diary for crafters, no matter what the project whether you craft for yourself or others (and you are most likely not getting rich off your work) but you like to share your results. Let's face it, there is a certain pride in the finishing of a project, no matter how small or large. So all you crafty people out there, share your efforts so the rest of us won't feel so lonely, especially when the frustration sets in and the project isn't exactly turning out as you hoped.
I like to crochet doilies. (Basically because I don't have the patience for anything larger) A lot of my patterns I have found for free online but I have also purchased quite a few. I do it for myself. Besides, it is therapeutic. Good for the mind, the counting helps keep the brain alert and great for the arthritis....reminds you that it is still there in your hands and fingers.
I purchased a "Bluebirds of Happiness" pattern a few years ago and finally decided to try it out. Cute doily with two little bluebirds sitting in the semicircles.
