RAK

Is everyone familiar with RAK?  It stands for Random Act of Kindness, and let me tell you we have a busy bunch of them over on Crochet Soiree.  We have all agreed to go on our page and put items we would like to have in our Stash category file. Then if anyone decides they would like to give you a gift  "just because" they can go look through your Stash and see if they want to choose something from there or they can get an idea of the type of things you like.

Let me tell you I have been so blessed with gifts it is unbelievable.  I received a thread crochet book that has 50 square motifs in it, a beautiful wood handled size 7 steel crochet hook, 2 of the Crochet Lite hooks, and it goes on and on.  But let me tell you about the latest one I have received.

Yes it is the doily pictured above, isn't that just the most beautiful thing ever?  First off, I love hearts, so do you see all the hearts all around it?  Plus do you know how much time it took to make this?  I was just stunned when I opened this package. I would love to know who made this because I would really like to thank her. 

 So I am going to make a guess here and see if I am right or not.  We have an extremely talented lady at Crochet Soiree that is a crochet designer, she creates unbelievable things and so graciously shares them with everyone. Her name is Tamara Gonzales, and I just have a hunch that this doily is from her.  So if I am right and she wants to claim the fame that would be great, but if she wants to stay quiet I understand.  Regardless of who made it I love it.  You see there are 36 hearts in this doily and my husband and I have been married 36 years, so you see I feel there is a special connection with this doily.  I am going to frame it and hang it here beside my computer.  Maybe some of her talent will rub off on me.  I can at least dream can't I?
