such a rosey finish



A finish.


A rosey finish!  Complete with lacey pineapples and pearls.

It is from this book:



And even tho I ran into some major snafus....




...I have come away smitten by the simple beauty that can come from a mere size 7 hook and size 10 crochet thread. 



Yup. Just give me a crochet project, sleeping kitties, flowers, stacked dishes, etc...





...and chaos just seems to disappear.


Hello to a quiet world filled with sweet, simple things.

For awhile anyway.....
