.The apple blossoms are blanketing our lawn like pink crocheted lace.
.
...and I just finished this doily from the previous post.

This is the first time that I have used size 30 thread and I must say that I truly love the delicate feel of it! The thread was actually a thrift store find, but it worked up so elegant and subtle.

Such a delicate lacey look -- do you have such a passion for lace, too?!
.
This book shows a gorgeous bedroom laden with lace & beauty! How breath-taking is this bedroom!? Ahhh. Someday, in my quaint farmhouse, my husband & I will have a master bedrooom just like this.........complete with the exquisite lace that drapes the bed.
...this just steals my breath away.
...and this magnificent, hand-made lace that was made to look as if the lady was about to come back soon to complete.
.
...or this adorning this antique dress-form.

This is why I love lace. Crocheted or otherwise.

Last summer we toured a settlers' village and all of these fine examples of lace were showcased in the dressmaker's store.

All of those tiny stitches taken either out of necessity or out of need for fashion speak of such subtle beauty. And if I can come even close to making that same type of lace, well that is my desire.

It's absolutely gorgeous!
Oh, my gosh, Dawn! That is exquisite! Makes me want to try to learn crochet....or not....I'm much too impatient to try something that delicate....I'll stick to knitting socks.
Very pretty! I think I like yours the best. Second would be the white with the flowers and the little balls.
You're an artist with that thread!
Wow, Dawn -- that's just breathtaking! Your pictures are so yummy! :)
Please keep up with the good work, so that I can enjoy your creations.
I think you have not only come close, but you have made it! It is absolutely gorgeous and I hope your dreams of a lace filled master bedroom come true.
Your doily is beautiful! I think the color of the thread really complements the pattern design. Congrats on your finish!
Ooohlala! I love it. You are so talented!
(GASP) .... VERY VERY PRETTY!! I LOVE that apple blossom pink color!
Ahh, your pink lace is absolutely gorgeous! My goal is to eventually get my crochet skills to this level where I can produce something so elegantly beautiful. This is the ultimate! You always give us some wonderful inspiration here!
I love your pink doiley! And I love crochted lace, tatting, etc. I have quite a bit of it and I buy it at garage sales when I see something pretty. I have crocheted many things as well, but not for quite a while. I have a table cloth that I haven't worked on for a long time. I need to finish it!! Hee Hee!
All those different types of lace are so interesting. I once knew a lady who made bobbin lace. Your pink crochet lace is just beautiful. I'm sure you will have that lace-filled bedroom one day!
Absolutely Stunning!!!

Beautiful! So delicate, & your photos do it such justice! Love that pink apple blossom with the lace.
That is the best use of a thrift store find I have ever seen! Absolutely lovely! Twyla
I have just discovered your blog and I love it. You are invited to my blog. I try to do such gorgeous things but yours are great. I love your bags, where can I find the patterns? Hi from the south of Spain.
