Pineapples Big and Small




I can’t help it! I love crocheting doilies!
Here is another one that I recently crocheted. By the way, thank you so much for your sweet comments on my previous one. I enjoyed reading (and rereading) them. Some of you even encouraged me to open an Etsy shop. I am seriously considering that possibility. Thank you!

It was fun to crochet this pineapple doily, and I am very happy with the way it turned out. I found the pattern online, you can see it here.



Today, I’m joining Jami at An Oregon Cottage for Well-Made Wednesday, a link party to share handmade items and ideas on handmade gifts. Wouldn’t you agree that a doily can make a lovely present?

I am also joining

Show and Tell Friday @ My Romantic Home,

That is just lovely. I love doilies because there is something so feminine and old fashioned about them. I don't sew or anything but I did just buy a pretty doily stamp for crafting. I'll have to check and see if the pattern has any pineapples in it.

Hello Olga
You not only love crocheting doilies, but do it so well! If you open an Etsy shop I too will be shopping your handmade treasures.

Beautiful work! I use doilies in a lot of different ways. One of my favorites ways is to drape a large doily over a lamp shade. That is such a pretty pattern. I think I may have told you that my DIL crochets. She made a small round tea table lace for me in the pineapple pattern. It's one of my treasures. I'm sure your Thanksgiving is going to be lovely and DELICIOUS!

Another masterpiece. I do hope you open up an etsy shop, because I would also be a customer. Since I already have one of your doilys I know the wonderful work you have created. I am crazy about doilys now.

I love crocheting doilies also. You should really look into photography as a business because you take some amazing photos.

Delightful and you could make Christmas angels and all kinds of things like that too if you wanted too. Of course you would be great on Etsy.
