Vintage Thingie Thursday with Coloradolady is a fun meme.
Fine something you love and share with us.
A few weeks ago I showed my packet of fine steel crochet hooks that I was given in 1957 by my dear friend and x-ray instructor.
She also gave me this fine DMC crochet thread made in France.
I still have 4 skeins after all these years.
She and I became very close.
She was an older nun and her family lived far away and she sort of took me under her wing.
I stayed at the hospital a lot and in fact since I lived several miles away became part of the family of nuns that lived there.
She taught me to crochet.
This is one doily I still have.
Didn't remember I still had it until I found the thread.
I have made this pattern many times with bigger cotton thread.
She also taught me to tat, but I cannot remember how to do that nor do I have the tool for it.
This thread is many years old since she had had it a while.
I don't believe I can see well enough to do work with this fine thread and a tiny steel crochet hook anymore.
DMC is still in business and this is what I found when I googled it.
I was looking for the date of the founding of the company.
DMC® has maintained the same high standards of quality today since its founding in 1746. DMC's® quality products and their extensive color ranges stand the test of time. DMC® threads and your fine workmanship -- 250 years of tradition and a lifetime of memories.

No sunning on the deck today, it is cold again.
I'm feeling..........totally at peace with trust in God's goodness
I'm feeling..........totally at peace with trust in God's goodness
On my mine........I keep up with the goings on in the world and I am totally confused about the events we are involved in in the middle east. I pray a lot.
I hope...that mankind will at length, as they call themselves reasonable creatures, have reason and sense enough to settle their differences without cutting throats; for in my opinion there never was a good war, or a bad peace.
