Crochet Details




There's a mini revival of crochet happening in my home since a "care package" arrived from my Mum.  Check out the golden yellow tablecloth and orange doilies Mum pulled out of the moth balls and sent through the mail to spruce up my tables.  What beautiful colours!  Mum couldn't even buy that golden yellow colour at Spotlight to mend the tablecloth.  My Nanna was an avid knitter and crocheter, but so few people are skilled at crochet anymore.  I would love to order a retro throw rug from her, but unfortunately she is not here to help out.  I'm keeping my eye on eBay for someone else's Nanna's handiwork, in the yellow/orange/brown pallet hopefully.
