This single piece has taken about 15 years! Not because it was too hard, or boring, because I have too freaking many projects going at one time!
This piece was a joy to work on through the years. It was easy to understand, and worked up beautifully.

Last Row!
It's hard to believe that I am finally going to finish this beautiful piece. I am starting on the last row!
I ran out of thread, just like I thought I would, so instead of trying to find an exact match I went for a complimentary color. Since it's the last row, I'm hoping it doesn't look stupid, time will tell.

Espresso
Amazingly enough, I am still working on Patricia Kristoffersen's pattern, Espresso. I only have about 3 and a half rows to go.
I laid this project down about 12, maybe 15 years ago. I was afraid that I was going to run out of thread. 15 years ago, crochet thread was hard to come by. So I packed it away and forgot all about it.
Life is certainly different now! Crochet thread is everywhere. I have moved 3 times. Divorced. Rediscovered my love of doilies!

Old doily coming back
I wanted to update on the Espresso doily, I am still working on it, but it's slow going. My last few doily's were from Grace Fearon, so this one is really tame in comparison. It really is a beautiful piece, I just have to be patient and stick with it.

It's only been 3 years since my last post. I'm glad no one really reads these!
I have picked up a project that has been stalled out for over 12 years! It is a doily by Patricia Kristoffersen called Espresso. It is a beautiful piece. I was just about done when I laid it down. I only have another 5 rounds to complete it. I'm really excited to finish this one.
I'm trying to not start any new projects untill I finish at least one old one. It is so hard because I have so many new projects that I'm dying to start!!
Here is where I am now

I guess the death of both parents in 15 months reminds me again just how precious life really is. My father was an amazing man and I loved him. I miss him every day.
So I’m trying to not take life, or the people in my life, for granted. Every day and every person is precious. Live. Love. Laugh.
