I made my own charms

When I couldn't find what I wanted at the craft stores I took matters into my own hands and made my own, and I like them. I can do the colors I want and need to match the yarn.

Some more crochet items and another great Etsy seller

I was going through some things the other day and found some things I had made and somehow forgot about. It was like a treasure trove. There it was my pretty crochet purple pocketbook, my fun fur pocketbook and an array or necklaces that I had made. Then there was my fun little what I like to call my monkey pocketbook. I was so excited to find these treasures.

Now I have another Etsy sellar to tell you about. Jennleejewelry I recieved the most beautiful necklace from her. She has some great items and beautiful jewery at great prices. Check out her store by clicking on her name above. The necklace above is the beautiful beaded and heart shaped shell necklace. A beautiful piece to have to wear this summer

Polymer clay and crochet

Polymer clay and crochet. Both are so versatile. I made these and then crocheted to make a necklace and a couple of bracelets.

crochet granny squares and what you can make with them

I believe the granny square never goes out of style. I crocheted these in Berroco suede and placed them in a free form fashion. Added the great turquoise beads and knitted the neck part. It cines around the front and buttons over the heart.
The headband was also done in the granny squares

Ring around the neck

So how do you kick up a plain top or dress. With one of these!! Goes around the neck and looks like a collar or a piece of jewery.

more barefoot fun and a new piece of fabric

This time they are kicked up a little more with some dangling beads. And the red ones pack a punch. They are knitted with a stretch yarn and are small to look at but when put on the foot the stretch in to a foot thong. Very comfortable and very sexy.

I also had a chance to take some photo's yesterday with my new micro lenses. Some really fun close up's of some pansy's and now through some fun editing another piece of great fabric. Check out my Etsy shop over to the right crochet18purple for these little cutties. And one more thing I know I need a pedicure

Feeling good about going barefoot

Making fabric pictures

These are from pictures I took and then made some changes. Printed them to fabric and the possibilities are endless
