Dreaming in Color

Okay~
Snow is beautiful
fluffy
sparkly
&
white
and I DO love it
but...
I am practically gasping for some 
Color
in  my world,
as I am anxiously awaiting 
Spring!!!
So I have grabbed every bit of colorful yarn 
I can get my hands on and crocheted 
some pretty doilies out of  my beautiful new book
by
Nicki Trench.
They are crocheted using 
dk weight yarn to make them
a bit heavier than a typical doily
{part of the overall charm}.
The pattern name is 
Vintage-style Vase Coaster.
They are so much fun to make!
Playing around with all of the color choices
is absolutely addictive :)))
I went from
Bright & Cheery
to 
 Springtime Soft
to
Jewel Tone.
I'm loving it!
I always love projects by Nicki Trench!
And one more 
Color Pop
before I say 
Toot~a~Loo
to all of you for now
My next post will have bunnies running amuck!
This one will grow up to be 
an Easter gift 
for my sweet little
Gabby.
I will give you the details of where
you can find the pattern 
when I show it all done up
{with a happy little face and backside}.

Have a lovely day!
And sneak in as much
Color
as you possibly can!

With Love,
Danette
