About Me

My photo
I have been a crafter of all sorts for many years, and really love working with Paper and Threads. I am loving the design work I am doing now. I really seem to be getting back into my "art", even if I am doing it by computer now, instead of actually getting dirty while drawing. ;-) I have been avid about Thread Arts since I was a kid, learning to Crochet at 7, then Knit, Embroider, Needle Lace and finally Needle Tat. I love to design as well and am looking forward to taking the Needle Tatting that further step as well.

Crochet Christmas Doily

This doily is 32" across and is crocheted with a variegated soft green, red and white size 10 thread. This doily does not have any stiffener used on it.  When washing is needed, just machine wash it on Delicate, then block it wet and let it dry.
Christmas Doily 32" across  $35 US

Maybe a bit early, but....

As cold as it gets around here, it is never too early to think about staying warm during the Winter!

This is a Hood, or a Cowl if you prefer, crochet in the round.  Laid flat, it measures 15" wide and 24" long.  Wear it under the collar of your coat or wear it over, but wear it over your head to stay warm.  Leave it open in front or tuck it around the front to keep your face warm too.  The yarn used to make this Cowl is a nice soft BouclĂ© in the Blue tones.
Hood/Cowl $30 US
I had one last Winter and it kept me super warm!


Tatted Bridal Garter

Resizable Tatted Bridal Garter $30 US
This Tatted Bridal Garter is made to be sized to any needed size with a button hole, placed on the back inside of the Garter.  The elastic is held with a safety pin, so it is easy to grab ahold of.  To make the Garter smaller than it currently is, you just pull the elastic up to fit.  You can stitch the new size, or just use a safety pin to hold it.  If you need it larger than its current size, you just need to remove the elastic and add a piece sized for you.  This Garter is made with over 1 yard of a very pretty silky Blanket Binding that I have added tatting on the bottom edge.  The tatting is done in size 80 thread in a very pale variegated blue & white.  The little rose is also tatted and the beads are glass pearl seed beads & Swarovski Bi-Cone beads.  The Garter comes with a box to keep your keepsake in.
