Little Mini Doily and related thoughts.

 

I've never made a mini doily. Or any doily for that matter. I have made crocheted doll clothes and wash cloths and such but never an actual doily. I am thinking I need a smaller hook for this. 

It is only about 2 inches across, and I think with a smaller hook it will be just right for my hearts. 

The other thing I made was little flowers. I need a smaller hook. I have tons of smaller hooks that were my grandma's, my great grandma's. my mom's, and my sister in law's. They are in a little plastic box.

Somewhere. 

Sigh.

I just ordered some red and cream thread but the rest is from  my sister in law's stash which I inherited. It's fun to do something different. I also got a ton of embroidery floss, pearl floss, metallic floss from her. I have already given away half of it, to a woman who works where my mom lived and does counted cross stitch. I still have way more than I could ever use. Hmm... I could crochet a little doily from pearl cotton. It would be pretty.

I have been tempted by some craft-of-the-month kits but I have (wisely) decided that I have enough stuff to keep me busy forever.
