Gotta share these comments

[NanaM3]

Oh boy what fun this was. First, my ex dropped by to discuss something or other about the kids and saw this being blocked. He said, "Did you make that?" in disbelief. I said, "Yes." He said no more but throughout the 5 minutes he was here he kept looking over at it, clearly impressed.

 

 

Then after church my 17 year old daughter happened to notice it where I had it placed until I could get it on the table ... and she exclaimed, "My G-d, Mom, don't tell me you made this?" She kept looking at it and I could tell she really liked it. She kept saying, "I can't believe you made this ... is this what you were making in front of the TV last week?"

 

 

For different reasons I treasure these two moments, one for the gotcha of an ex who never placed any value on my hand work and the other on the wow-maybe-you ARE-cool-after-all of my teenager!

It's beautiful. I can see why they couldn't take their eyes off it.

I'm going to second that WOW that your daughter said! That is a beautiful piece of work! It's about time that your talents get recognized!

Cheers to you for a job well done! :cheer

[OzRebel]

Wow! That is impressive!!! Rightly deserved comments!

[eebrs]

Great job! It's gorgeous!

[SHERYL]

Its beautiful ~ I can see why they couldn't take their eyes off of it.

[CDBear]

It sure caught my husband's eye!!! I was reading the thread, and he had to lean over my shoulder to get a better look!!

 

Great job Nana!!!

Oh, that is nifty! Have you considered adapting your lacy edging design to do a sort of gothy-victorianish choker necklace? I can imagine the teens (and some older "girls" )who'd be beating down your door to buy the choker!

[01buckler15]

It is beautiful! I see why they reacted so.

 

Don't you just love it!

OH NANA! That is so beautiful! Your ex and daughter SHOULD be impressed.

 

I can't work with thread. It would take me from now to the end of eternity to make a snowflake.

 

I just love that response from your ex. My estranged husband (or as my sister calls him, my wasband) did that same thing a couple weeks ago over a birthday gift I was making. That dumbfounded look, like he had no idea I could do this. It was precious. I wish I could have seen your ex.

 

And your daughter too. That is terrific. Ha, ha ~ no, Mom wasn't making a rag, or something goofy. It's gorgeous! I remember my teens and not wanting to be embarrassed by Mom, and if I was a teen now, I'd be proud to tell my friends my Mom made this.

 

Bask in the happiness of it all.

What satisfying responses to a beautiful piece of work.

[Elle]

It does make you feel good when people are impressed with something you do, doesn't it?

 

They were clearly right to be impressed, as well, the doily is GORGEOUS! Great job!

[Ladykats]

I have been crocheting for 20 years, just realized that last night. I must say, I wish I could crochet something as beautiful as what you did last week. It is simply gorgeous..

[yarn_monkey]

That is absolutely gorgeous!! I'm so glad people recognize your talent, especially ones like teens and exes who often seem not to notice!

[Tampa Doll]

Good for you. That is one beautiful piece of work. Puff that chest up you deserve it.

Hey teenagers are not easy to impress and ex's well, they really don't matter.
