It has taken me a long while, but I finally finished my large lace embroidered doily. There are 8 sections including the centre section, and once I embroidered all of them, I had to machine stitch them together. I alternated a deep pink section with a deep burgundy section. It is now sitting prominently on a table in our living room. I got quite a reaction from Joe when he said, "Take a bow." He said that it was so nice that I was making so many things for our cottage and really making it beautiful and so homey. Well, that made my day for sure.
Hope everyone is having a lovely day! Joe and I are going to see the latest Harry Potter movie on Saturday, so I am thrilled about that. We will be in Letterkenny all day, which will be so much fun!

Micki, it is stunning. Did you use the embroidery machine?
Your hubby sounds so sweet.
What a gorgeous doily! I can see why that took a long time to complete. How nice that you are appreciated for all your hard work. I'm having to read all of the Harry Potter books again now that I've seen the most recent movie. They've been showing all the earlier ones on TV and it is interesting to see how the "children" have matured.
Wow, it is stunning! the colors are gorgeous!!!

I love your doily Mickie! Isn't is so special to be able to create things with our own hands , it makes me feel like I am reaching back in history to my ancestors who seemed to care so much back then. You project is so beautiful and you have a right to be so proud - AND - to have your hubby notice and brag on it !

Our niece is such a HP fan that when she got married 4 years ago she went to collect the newest pre ordered H P book at midnight the eve before she was married. We have photos of her waiting for the ceremony to start with the new book in hand reading.
There are fans and tnen there are fans. She knit special socks to wear to the newest movie.. She is quite the young woman...
