From the lows to the highs.....

It was hard to say goodbye to three sets of dear friends yesterday (see http:SnippetsOnTheMove.blogspot.com for more about this, I will be saying more there later.  One couple in particular are our very dearest friends and they are continuing to travel for the next six months, up through Queensland then across to Darwin and Kakadu.  I will miss them badly. 


But I had something special to look forward to - meeting a friend, just a short distance north from Yarrahapinni where we were at Camp.  We have been internet friends for some time, and now we met in the flesh and she is every bit as delightful as I imagined.  It is Susan, from minicrochetmad and she does the most amazing crochet I have ever seen!  I was bowled over that she gave me this gorgeous set of baby clothes that will actually fit a 1:12th scale baby doll

Showing back of dress - the buttons work!

The photo doesn't nearly do justice to the tiny stitches in the garments.  The booties are only 1/4" long, the dress only approx 1 1/2"  and I couldn't begin to estimate the size of the stitches - they are miniscule.


Thank you Susan from the bottom of my heart!  I will treasure these always, and display them with pride in the nursery of a special house.


I am embarrassed that my gift for Susan isn't completed yet - I thought there'd be plenty of time during Camp - and it doesn't measure up at all to the standards of this wonderful crochet!
