Hi Everyone

[Mary Laposta]

Hi Sonnetta. What a pretty name you have. Thank you for your warm welcome to crochet talk. I am glad to have come across and become a part of this wonderful community. That sounds like such a wonderful gift your mother made for your wedding gift. I'm sorry to hear you are living with such challenges of illness and pain as you mention. It is not easy, I know. I am glad you have found crochet help keep your mind off pain. I imagine it helps keep your spirit lifted as well, which I hear being in a good mood helps a great deal. I can tell with my own illness that when ever I become stressed, my pain level sky rockets. And given crocheting is so relaxing, I guess I needn't say more.

Beautiful story....some what like my own except the injury part. I am sorry for you for that. I only had one Nonna...and she cooked not sewed or crochet but my father's godmother (Modrina Spina we used to call her) would teach my mother and I would watch.. until one day she taught me. That was in the 1960s. I love crocheted baby clothes and I can truly understand how you are attracted to them!
Have fun here and I will talk to you soon!!

Hi Lorisa. Nice to meet you. I love your rose fillet doily in your picture. It's a very nice pattern. So feminine and romantically charming. Your white squirrel picture is amazing too.. lol how cute!! I would love to crochet some doilies as well, though haven't as yet attempted such a challenge. But it's on my crochet bucket list

Hi Mary,
I've been crocheting doilies lately. You can read my post 'my attempt at a doily'
