    Beautiful work, Kay! Thanks so much for sharing. Nice reminder for me to sit, relax and crochet a bit.

    Where do they go? Nowhere in particular. I quit giving my pieces away unless I think it's something my sister might like. I ask her first. She does appreciate the work. No one else really wants them. I do get some things professionally framed, some I keep in my sewing room here to look at. They're mostly just for me and the hubs to look at. I just enjoy making them without any particular intended recipient.

    Although I did donate a piece once to a fundraising auction; it got $400!
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    On another note, I feel sad that Jane's post is only a couple of posts away. Pointing out how old since this thread has been updated, but also how much I still miss Jane's posts.
    I know...I noticed that. I miss her too.

    My latest finish. Oh, my aching fingertips! Can't get it to rotate. The bird should be on the right.

    that is lovely. The little hummingbirds are so inspirational. I like how the flower is just sketched in.

    Yesterday I won first place with this floral design. Our assignment was to interpret a piece of book cover art because our show was held in a library.

    This is the book cover art:

    Love that, IL! I'm sure you have a special skill for interpreting book covers!

    Kay: I love your hummingbird! Is it embroidered on a tablecloth, or a piece of clothing, or as a picture or?

    IL: What a perfect interpretation! Our local garden club does a "Books in Bloom" annual event at our library and oftentimes the arrangement doesn't seem to have much relation to the book.

    Our flower show at the library was themed “ Books and Blooms” so same idea. If they have that flower show at the library each year they may have become tired of having a book theme.
