Texas Pillows

 Yup, that's right y'all, more Texas  😊

This is the team up of Texas Pillowcase and Texas Heart Pillow 😍      I 💝 Texas

The ease in which the pillowcase's go on and off, and fit different pillows, honestly is leaving me a little giddy. :)

You probably can't tell from the photos, but the 'faux wood' is actually the perfect touch, framing this crochet Texas flag, giving it a rustic, classic Texas look.

The Texas Pillowcase Pattern or Texas Pillowcase Pattern has multiple options for trim or no trim, as well as places to continue, if you would like to have more crochet fun, or places to stop if you are happy with your results without trim. Texas Heart Pillow Pattern can also be made trim or no trim, and all sizes can be bought together, or found sold separately in Doily Designs Etsy shop.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Crochet Chinoiserie

Chinoiserie, or Blue Willow China is such an eye catcher, that when in 2011, a customer requested I crochet her Mom a blanket to match her Blue Willow China collection, I was beside myself with excitement.

I do not think I knew, until then that Hobby Lobby had such a great assortment of colors! There were so many blues to choice from.

We collaborated on the color scheme and her Moms blanket was finished just in time for her Christmas SURPRISE! <3

It is crochet projects like this that bring me so much crochet JOY, with the fun new Blue Willow China crochet, HAPPY MOMs and HAPPY DAUGHTERs, a very Merry Christmas'.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes and happy crocheting!

Instagram Flashback

Doily Designs Instagram Flashback

  2011, My husband, and oldest daughter talked me into getting the Instagram app on my phone, and it was a blast sharing with my oldest daughter.

  Instagram was also one of the first places I started sharing my crochet. Etsy was were I ended up finding most of my clients, so I found myself not using Instagram very much for many years.

  For me, it was not until the integration of mobile and desktop happened, around 2020, that I began to use Instagram once again. I remain somewhat of a minimal user, for whatever reason.

  Since the Doily Designs Instagram only goes back to 2018, I started looking back at all the missed years, and having flashbacks.

  Now that you are caught up 😅 back to why we are here, a walk down Doily Designs Instagram lane....

Doily Designs Instagram Flashback 

2011 -2014

The rustic photos go with the theme.  It starts with a snapshot of some of the first posts that I ever made on Instagram, obviously it was around Autumn. We just Love Fall. 

The spiderweb, blue & black shawls, and the willow blanket, are made by me, but were not written by Doily Designs. As Doily Designs, I designed the rugs, earrings, a doily or 2, and the square blankets.

 

One more, and I will stop, this was my favorite, but it only ever got one like, so I never made it again, and that was that. They were my own designs, but they were square, and I was all about the circles at the time, if you didn't notice. But hey, squares the new round. 😅

feeling  nostalgic   😄

Thank you for stopping by and flashing back with me :)

In 2011, I began crocheting in the round and was hooked. ∞ Crocheting itself is very therapeutic and meditative and in the round is the cherry on top. Round and round, row after row, coming full circle. It is so very satisfying. In the round offers so much inspiration, there are endless possibilities of things to make. After making one doily like design after another, like the ones below, the name Doily Designs was born.
