I still crochet regularly at the office during lunch breaks. And the good thing is, I have crochet buddies there so every lunchtime, we eat hurriedly so we can have as much crochet time as we can . And there's one officemate who's into knitting and maybe someday soon, she will teach me how to do it. We will see....
Crossstitch-wise, I do it regularly every night but for only an hour or so, that's why there's not enough progress to show you on my "Tropical Fruits".
I wanted to share with you the photos of my Doily No. 4. I finished it maybe two months ago but it's only recently that I was able to photograph it.

This doily is very textured and the thread I used, DMC Cebelia No. 10, is a bit stiff so I have some struggling with it. I got spoiled by the pearl thread which is soft and very easy to maneuver. But one thing I like so much about Cebelia is that blocking is very easy since the thread is stiff. Anyway, here's the detailed photo:
I've got the pattern from this book:On my last post, Raine thought that the cat in this photo is a toy:
But it is a measuring tape:
This is all for now my friends. Take care always and have a nice week ahead of us!
P.S. Deb MN was asking about the Tropical Fruits pattern. I think it is only available here in the Philippines as it was published by DMC Philippines.
