Crochet and Couples

I know it has been few and far between...my posts I mean. Our couples night went really well I think. Everyone seemed to have a good time. When everyone came in they were "greeted" with candlelight and a lighted arch which lead the way to the tables. The tables were decorated beautifully, with the help from Mrs. M. =) There were 13 handmade doilies...one for each couple to take home. As for those of you who were wondering....they are all PK doilies. (from this book) So without further ado....here are the pictures that some individuals have requested. ;) The first 13 pictures are of the doilies of course!














Here are a couple of pictures of the place settings.


Here is a picture of everyone seated at their places as we were getting started.
This picture is of the candlelight that greeted people.
This next picture is of three couples playing "Jeopardy" and the winning couple received a gift card to the Olive Garden.
And here are the wonderful helpers (so nice to have help cleaning up.)
Some of the women "catching up".

I thought I would end a picture of Hubby and I...I was debating on putting it up or not. So...here you go.

I started on the doilies at the end of February! My favorite one is the 5th from the top, but it went to a wonderful lady who has a 3 week old baby. It was hard to give away, but I got more practice....so now I know which ones I want to do. =)

Your doilies were so pretty and a lot of hard work, your couples night out is a good idea more churches should do it.

Show and Tell Friday (10/5)

Welcome to "Show and Tell Friday!" Do you have a something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, an antique find. Your show and tell can be old or new. Use your imagination and dig through those old boxes in your closet if you have to! Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! When we went to the Fall Festival a couple of weeks ago Hubby bought the children wooden swords. They have had so much fun with those...pretending to be knights, pirates, and soldiers. Well, hubby decided that he could make them just as well or better. So here is a finished sword made by hubby. (He actually ended up making seven!) Our local leather shop cut out the pieces for us which cut down on our work tremendously. Hopefully I can show off one that is much bigger soon. Hubby decided that he needs some protection from Big T and Sweet E so he is making himself one. :) **This wasn...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! Yesterday I was in our side yard raking up a pile of leaves for Sweet E to play in and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was bright red. I looked down and saw three bright red objects in the grass. I picked them up....I have never seen these before. We are thinking they may possibly be wild strawberries, but are unsure since we have no prior experience with them. (really have no clue as to what they actually are.) And...what in the world would they be doing in the yard at the end of October! I just wanted to share pictures to see what everyone else thought. I thought it wa...

Feel free to share pictures and if there's a story behind your special something, that's even better! This week I wanted to Show off Big T's latest adventure. Last week he attended Bible school and Grandma S' church. The theme was Avalanche Rance and I know there are a LOT of churches doing this one. It fit him perfectly since he has a love of horses. So I just wanted to share a few pictures from the last night of Bible school....or as Big T calls it, Cowboy School . ;) Here is a picture of Little E and Grandpa S waiting for the program to start. The next two pictures are of the children standing up front. Not good pictures, but you can tell they all have the "deer in the...
