Lucki Jeri! Drive by shawlings are always very nice when they happen!

So what is next in the works, our nimble-fingered-time-traveler?

Last week a friend of mine moved, and she set some boxes of things aside that were to go to a local thrift store. I rescued a lovely little doily suspended in a coated metal ring so it can be hung on the wall. It's in my bathroom--a nice memento of a friend who has moved three states away. I had to wash it carefully--it was brownish from the many smoking years it had been exposed to (she finally quit!), but I managed to restore it to a delicate perfectly white piece. Describe it? Well, if you take the pattern Fnoedugen and take off all but the middle section after the diamond shapes and use only about half of the petals and add a few tiny flowers, you have it. Sort of.

It makes a wonderful piece of personal art, and might be a great auction idea for around christmas time.
