Absentee yet again




 So sorry blog world. I have been a lazy blogger yet again. I have been crocheting, just not posting. I have been working on the Bernat Waverly Mystery CAL. I made this for a girl at work who was diagnosed and began treatment for thyroid cancer. She always admires what I make for others, so I used the colors she liked from various projects. Made my heart smile when I received a message from her that said "thanks Beth; it meant a lot to me." yes, it makes it soo worth it. 
I have also been making doilies:
 doily 15 from a Magic crochet...anyone know what issue? I found it online and didn't save the issue number.....
 this one is a variation of pineapples around from the book 50 Fabulous Pineapple motifs. Kind of looks like angels, don't you think?

 This is pale gardenia from Magic Crochet 65. Am making this for my prom date and dear friend, who's b-day was 4/29 and raises gardenias in NC. I started it after dinner on 4/29, watched the superhero movies on FX and only have the last round to finish today. I'm thinking I need one of these!!! It's 11" across.
 This is a doily I'm making for my dear friend, Soco. She asked for a red and a blue one. I found this Italian named lila terito minta. It should look like this when it's done:
 Soco is Italian to the nines, so I hope she likes this one!
That's about it for now, folks. I really must get back to folding laundry so I have more time to stitch! (in between reading/watching Game of Thrones.....LOL.....my new addiction!!!)
