What to do with a doily?It seems that just giving someone a doily these days is impractical to say the least. I made this one for my mom, matted and framed it as a wall hanging (16 x 20) and gave it to her for Christmast 2006. I wasn't sure how she would accetp it...she'd either smile politely and tell me later she really wouldn't use it or she would actually like it. Holding my breath as she opened the wrapping, her eyes widened and she turned to me and asked, "did you make this?". Proudly I said, "yes I did"....I think she really liked it. Brought tears to my eyes. Even now at 43, for some reason (and I'm sure I"m not alone in this) there is a little girl in me that just wants to please mom.
