For the baby's room

I couldn't resist showing you those of you who can crochet, a crocheted lampshade for babies. It's so sweet! It's in Idees Maille Bebe which I found via La Brocante de Margote, a blog full of creative ideas.

 

Doilies, the come back

If you have spent many years hating this kind of handcrafted creation, thinking of it as boring, old fashioned and bad taste, it's time to change your mind. Doilies are everywhere, either the real thing or their motifs, but happily, they now look fresh, contemporary and desirable. And if you have thrown away your grandma's doilies you will be very sorry.



On Supermarket I found this wall vinyl decal by Elly Nelly



beauideal makes these stylish note cards.




Look at this easy way to decorate your candle holders, it would be perfect decoration for a wedding reception, found on Sweet Paul.




Ravenhill makes this beautiful garland from doilies and linen. It would also look very pretty in a wedding party I think, but I would love to put it in my house too.



Here's a key fob by MaryMo




Another wedding decoration on Once Wed.







This is a table made from laser cut acrylic, designed by David Eveleigh and Melissa Evans, found on MoCo Loco.






Look how beautiful are these stones covered with crochet. They're made by knitalatte.




I loved this idea! What a nice way to reclaim all those doilies you 've been hiding for years! You 'll find this lamp in nice.




If you appreciate all the work behind a crocheted doily or have memories connected to it and wonder how to incorporate them in a simple and elegant interior, here's a pretty way. See how to do it on Craftynest.

Crochet with imagination

I love it when I see talented people using old, traditional techniques, considered dated and boring by some, to make charming handmade accessories, like this romantic, mysterious mask made with crochet. You will find the pattern in Stitch Diva Studios, together with many other beautiful crochet and knit patterns.

Granny's revenge : crochet

If in the past you looked down on your grandmother's crochet creations considering them too conservative and unsophisticated it's time to change your mind. Thanks to talented crafters and designers, crochet is getting renovated and isn't any more a technique to make boring doilies but in the contrary the way to hip garments and accessories which can totally uplift your looks. Take a look to the pictures below and you 'll see what I mean.
