for the love of pink lace

.

Remember what I said about making these to fill every room in my house? I am being taken over with a love for crocheted lace. Whether it is just loving the ones my grandma made -- seeing lace & doilies on other's blogs -- or just browsing through crocheted lace books... I just have this urge to immerse myself in this.

....why, yes. I just had to put this pink crochet thread to use.

Just a few more rows and it will be finished. Just in time for the apple tree blossoms to fall pink all over our lawn.
