Crochet News: A Quick And Easy Idea For A Doily

Thanks to Craftgawker.com I found a blogsite called "These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things" and a post called "Quick And Easy".  It is a short post but well deserving of your attention.

Olivia, the blog owner of Favourite Things posted an idea for using doilies that most of us have laying around or stashed in our linen cupboards.  It's a simple yet very creative idea for displaying earrings!

Simply put a doily in a embroidery hoop that matches it's size (or  better) .  Olivia's doily looks like it fits in the hoop perfectly but mine did not but I like the effect anyway.  It gave my earring hoop a lacy pretty edging:

I added ribbon to the outside of the hoop and tied the little bouquet of silk flowers to the top.  That's it!  So easy!  This is really only suitable for the "hook" type of pierced earrings, I tried with other styles but it was a lot of trouble getting them on and off the doily without the whole thing crashing down.  Maybe I'm just clumsy. ha ha. 

Isn't that about the easiest, prettiest thing you ever saw?  Thank you Olivia!  Please follow the link to her post and leave a comment to tell her what you think!

Have a great day and God bless you and yours!
