A few weeks ago, I saw that some of my favourite bloggers were involved in creating beautiful crochet dollies. In the summer I had purchased a doily pattern book but, try as I might, I could not find any crochet cotton in any of the craft shops I frequent. I happened to mention this in a comment on Betsy's lovely blog when admiring the amazing doily she had made. The next thing I know, I receive a lovely message from her asking if she could send me some crochet cotton! I was so touched by this very generous gesture from her. Within a few days a big box arrived all the way from America. Would you like to see what this lovely lady sent to me?
Wow...
Just the right crochet thread for my patterns...and a lovely card with such a sweet message (this will be going on my office wall where I display favourite cards I have received from friends)...
...not just one big ball, but two!! And then, so thoughtfully, she included some coloured thread too so that I can accent some of the doilies I will be making...
Just look at this yarn, I can see why it has this name as I love it too!! It is sooooo deliciously soft...
A beautiful decoration with crochet and beads, this is already hanging on my bookcase...
And, just look at this sweet tin of hot chocolate, I am saving this for when I finish work for the holidays, a special treat to look forward to...
Betsy, I am truly blessed to count you amongst my friends. I hope that you will like the little package I have sent to you, with much love to you.
Bloggers really are the best!!
Have a lovely Sunday, Helenxx
That is lovely, what a kind gesture of friendship across the miles. You will enjoy working with that yarn all the more now. xx
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lovel lot of goodies, I see you have some Aunt Lydia's cotton, this is quite difficult to get hold of over here, I know some is available but not like they have in America. I'm really looking forward to seeing you start your doily.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lady.
