And my sister left a surprise in my husbands truck today. She was clearing out and the old tattered doilies got to come to my space. I will have fun using them in some long awaited journal making
Sometimes I need a full sized one when I craft. My daughter in law the COOK, wears one all the time she's in the kitchen. And they are adorable. She's in the kitchen for hours.
Thanks for stopping by and all the great comments last week. Didn't make as many visits as I had planned, we had 2 days of family time, his 102 year old cousin died and lots of family from far away came. So fun to see them and Celebrate a Life of that age. He was still very active. Enjoy a lovely week.

I love the doilies....so pretty but I’m guessing they would be too pretty to make anything with for me....I’d sit stroking them 😀

Can't wait to see what you create with the doilies. Have a lovely week.

I like the look of your new dies and those doilies are wonderful. I can no longer crochet as my right shoulder throbs if I do. I used to spend hours and hours with my needle. Cute aprons as well. Have a happy Wednesday!
Love your wreath dies, and I especially love the doilies, what a lovely gift. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
Hope you have a good week,

Well, what a hoard of great things you have there - that apron made me smile, I should have a full body suit when I'm cooking - I must be the messiest cook around, lol!! That new die is really lovely, I bet you'll get a lot of use out of that over the years.

Hi Sylvia, some great pieces you got there. I too remember making an apron at school for Domestic Science as it was called back then!
Hi Sylvia, I know what you mean about aprons. I seem to remember making one in Y3. We had to hand stitch everything and add a cross stitch pattern to decorate the gingham. Happy WOYWW Sarah #10

Oooo love the doilies! Wow 102 that is quite an age to get to. To think how many things you would see in that lifetime. It's incredible. Have fun making your journals.

Gorgeous dies, hope we get to see what you do with them. Loving the doilies too and the apron. Have a great creative week, Angela x11x
I got a new wreath die for Christmas cards, too, and I'm loving it! It's a simple twig wreath with a bow and a couple of cardinals. I add a few red berries with a Viva Décor pen, and it looks great. Have fun with all your new crafting goodies...and the pretty aprons!
I have a craft apron - I usually forget to put it on until I already have ruined whatever I am wearing - LOL! I should make it a habit. Have fun with your new stash! Thanks for sharing, have a great week! Lindart #25
My word Sylvia, a life well lived, huh. What a grand age, and what a blessing to have remained active for so long. I confess I only want to be very old if I can be relatively OK. How thoughtful of your sister, those doilies will be treasures in your journals. Love the idea of an apron...never quite get around to actually using one!
What that was an amazing age and good to still be active too. Love the detail in the die and thanks for visiting my desk already
