Thread crochet

 

Thread crochet is one of my favorite types of crochet. I've made loads of doilies and table cloths,purses,stolls crocheted in thread and I think only a few of them are still in my possession. They make wonderful gifts! I've shown some of them before, here , here and here.

i crocheted this tablecloth last month it took me 2 months to complete it.

 I have had sewing thread spools for long time and my mission was to use them up . I used them in three fold and used 8 No crochet hook for the central part I crocheted granny squares and joined them with ridge stitch then I crochet several rounds in deferent colours,again I crocheted granny squares and for the edges I made fringes using the same thread they are looking like rok,waaah!

.i made two table clothes ,I still have many granny squares left I will make use of them in another project and will show you. Ok1

I will show another one in next blog. This makes my stock of sewing spools which were in polyester  finished. And I will now I will buy new stock of sewing threads.

Most of the thread crochet that I did is usually very big  and

 took lots of my time, but my mother seems to be attracted 

to Really smallthread crochet projects,like laces for her

 

peticot, picots for her suits,and chunnies etc..etc  I've 

shown 

you a few of them before, here and here.

Well, she just finished another one and sent me some

 pictures.

 All I can say is Wow! What do you say about this...?

 i will post them in another blogpost.

My Dinning area

I love beautifully set tables. By that I don’t mean anything too fancy; just some nice plates and cutlery (it’s fine if they are mismatched) with napkins and a few sprigs of flowers. Setting a table makes even the most simple meal feel special and having just read The Set Table: The Art of Small Gatherings by Hannah Shuckburgh,

it’s something I am going to make a bit more effort to do well. The book strikes just the right balance between inspirational and achievable and shows you how to set a beautiful table with modest resources. There are tips on choosing crockery and cutlery, suggestions for flowers and lighting, and advice on how to make all mealtimes that little bit more memorable. As well as Hannah’s useful tips, the book also features lots of inspiring photographs, which make you want to grab some napkins, bake some bread and invite a few friends round. It’s a good book and one that I’ll be dipping into time and time again.

Very occasionally I have come across it in other colours.  The red,yellow,orange,green like these cups from J. Meakin and Sons.  I found them in such an old shop, the staircase was leaning literally 20 degrees to the right!

When taking pictures, I usually prefer having clean angles (90 degrees). I have been challenged to change it up, and I'm giving it a go here... ;) The dining room has gotten a tiny tiny makeover before we're going all out. I've decided I need some major changes. There's something bugging me about the wallpaper, it has to go.

 I have always had a love for hotelware because it is so rugged and a lot chunkier than most china.  Vitresol or hotel/restaurant china has been specially glazed to withstand the harsh environment of the service industry. service industry.

some times our dinning table looks like the above .....that s no space at all! even my mom has to take her porridge sitting on lower stool.
