Oh, it felt good to get back to crocheting with thread after all those baby blankets. I made this bridal crinoline lady for my niece's wedding shower. She was thrilled. I used three different patterns from http://www.crochetmemories.com/. Ms. Mum's skirt, Ms. Sweet Pea's hat and Ms. Easter Lily's bodice. The bride's colors are green and blue and she will be carrying sun flowers as her bouquet.
I am an avid crocheter and knitter. I am self-taught and love the ability to make many charity items either way. I had been away from crocheting for a long while, but during a stressful time in my life, a good friend of mine, brought me crochet hooks and yarn and said, "here get busy" and I have been ever crocheting ever since. I owe her a big thanks.
I have been living in Texas now for a year and getting use to the culture. Way different then Massachusetts, but finally settling in with my new family and friends.
