thank you for your website! Even though I've had a stroke, my 34 year old daughter is crocheting for me. It a lot of work but pics of items made by your happy customers would be fun, listed by pattern? I'm looking for patterns for my dollhouse dolls. my grandma taught me to sew, braid rugs,embroidery, and eventually crochet, knit, bobbin lace and tatting. I did the same for bears and dolls, for all the boys and my girls, now I've begun doing it with my grandkids. My grandma bought the old strombecker doll furniture for 9 cents a piece or $1.49 a room during the depression with her egg money. now they run $10 each My Mum and aunts didn't like them, but I did and nana played hours on end, using my red goose and buster brown shoe boxes for rooms. My wonderful husband made me a replica of her house for my 60th birthday. For my 2nd childhood.
