I will go to work today with a smile on my face! I hope you are able to find joy in making snowflakes, even if not with tiny thread. I just recently finished making a couple with some leftover tea-stained size 5 thread left over from an antique repair project I did for a friend, and although the flakes are not tiny and dainty, they still look like snowflakes! Just very large and very old snowflakes. :)Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-11216934841158779762015-12-31T01:47:33.298-07:002015-12-31T01:47:33.298-07:00I've only recently stumbled upon your LOVELY b...I've only recently stumbled upon your LOVELY blog. I am absolutely in awe of your beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. Even though I have done a lot of crocheting I've never done much with threads and now my aging hands may have an issue with the tiny stuff...but I'm hoping to start making some larger snowflakes once I find a suitable yarn. In my eyes, snowflakes are one of the most gorgeous parts of nature...and yours are exquisite! I'm anxious to try them.<br />Thanks again for sharing!<br /><br />Karen<br /><br />P.S. I got a giggle out of the photo of the hollyhock dyed thread. The blurry blossoms in the background looks like a Victorian lady in a big hat waving hello to everyone. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404615295242091347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-79820130789703923982014-07-24T09:46:00.234-06:002014-07-24T09:46:00.234-06:00Oh, and Sue, this is just the beginning.

The thistle would have been an experiment, with no guarantees.
