A little crochet and remembering Kennedy


My niece's wedding is over and it was beautiful. I've been doing a little crocheting, did this pixie hat and pant for this little thrift store doll. She cost about a quarter.
  Today is 50 years since President Kennedy was assassinated. I remember it well, it is one of those things that is burned in your memory and you remember where you were and how you found out. I can remember seeing Oswald shot on TV and of course watching the funeral of Kennedy. It was a very strange time.

The wedding is soon

My niece's wedding is soon and I am making her rehearsal bouquet from ribbons and bows from her bridal showers...

Maybe next year

I only entered four things in our fair this year, but three of those did well, 2 first places and one second place. I didn't get my little room finished so I will save it for next years fair.

My crocheted doily got a first place blue ribbon. It is "Flying Comet" pattern from a 1949 book.

Tiny crochet teddy bear

I've done some more work on the miniature bed but can't seem to start the other room items!
Meanwhile, I crocheted this tiny panda bear using 2 strands of DMC floss and a #10 steel hook. He's the smallest I've done so far!
