The Tea Time Doily -- Crochet Pattern Review

Doilies are so pretty and they add a so much character to a boring table. I absolutely love them and so I decided to give crocheting one a try. I found this really cute pattern on Ravelry and it's called the Tea Time Doily.

This pattern was really easy to crochet but really hard to read. It is archived on a site on wayback machine and the website has a horrible background. It's so hard to read the pattern. If you are going to make this doily I really suggesting copying and pasting the pattern into a word document. If you don't do that with this crochet pattern it is going to be almost impossible to read without driving your eyes crazy. Without doing this the pattern will be almost impossible to read. The website was created at a time when everyone wanted to use those textured backgrounds.

Other than that little complaint this pattern is awesome. It comes up together really fast and I have gotten tons of compliments on how easy this doily is to crochet.

If you want to create this really fun and easy crochet pattern than check the out the link here.

They doily in the photograph at Ravelry is stunning, they use two colors which is what the original pattern calls for. I decided to crochet my doily in one solid color. I had no other colors available to me at the time.

The Etsy Interviews -- Reverie By MT

Etsy is a magical place... I am in no way being paid by these artists or by Etsy to promote their shops but I am so in love with the idea of a place where crafters can become small business owners with a few mouse clicks, that I just had so started a series of posts about independent designers and crafters working to turn their crafting passion into a business. With the abundance of shops that have opened on the marketplace that claim to sell a craft but are really only promoting mass produced junk, it is even more important now for people like me, that blog, to share amazing artisans with my readers. I have decided to do this with... Melissa @ Reverie By MT The first interview in this series is from Melissa @ Reverie By MT .

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge Recipe

The Best Peanut Butter Fudge....like....... for reals! Your Key To Success -- The Soft Ball Stage Don't let candy making scare you. Once you learn the basics, making candy can become rather easy . I will make two or three batches of this recipe over baking a cake from scratch every day of the week. If you can boil water you can do this. The process is just like cooking most other things. When not cooked fully, it will be soggy. If you cook it too long, it will be dry. Sometimes it takes a batch or two to figure it all out.
