My sister is very good at crochet, she learned from our aunt. I have always admired it. Even now I like doilies on all of our tables. Good to see these skills being passed on. Some of the most beautiful work I have seen!Good eye! Yes, it is crochet. The green one took me about 48 hours to make. Time consuming, but worth it!
I was also able to put one of my grannie's doilies on display (not judged). As far as I can tell, she made it around 1950. I received it when she passed several years ago. She is the one who taught me to crochet many, many years ago. I have her crochet hooks, and used one to make my Fair entries. Lily will get the hooks one day. View attachment 183069

Okay. This is even more bonkers. Went to pick up the entries at the fairgrounds today. Besides receiving a perfect score, blue ribbon (first place), and Best of Class, the big green doily won Grand Champion (Best of Show) of the entire doily competition!!!! And.... it won the Viewer's Choice award. Holy moly!! View attachment 183180

My grandson Sam getting ready to head out with me to work. He's holding his great-great grandfather's lunch pail from the 1920s. I wonder how many times his great-great grandfather sat on those very same steps prior to leaving for work.
Spent Thanksgiving with what's left of my family. My 84 year old uncle broke out my grandfather's 1947 Ford 8N tractor with custom built kid carrying attachment and spent the day hauling my children around the farm. I've got a lot to be thankful for, including my friends here on the FL. I hope all the rest of you have plenty to be thankful for today, too, whether you celebrated the holiday or not.
