Lacy Bonnet circa Early 1900's





I found this pattern in a baby book of antique crochet designs. I made it larger to fit older children or adults.
I think it' would make an awesome
photography prop!

New Designs - One-of-a-Kind




I don't know what inspired me... perhaps the rain ( I LOVE it) or maybe it was those skeins of lucious yarn from my friend Laila (who goes by the name Rawfish on Etsy.com).. but, whatever it was, I found myself crocheting like crazy for several days! :-> These are truly OOAK because Laila usually only spins one novelty yarn and I adore her corespun yarns. Enjoy these two "Uniquely Ewe" designs featuring two of Laila's skeins.

Cleopatra 2009

How would the famed "Femme Fatale" appear today?

Still commanding attention, for sure! Now, it's YOUR turn in a "Cleo" (may I call her that?) inspired capelet and head-covering complete with beads and bone-like buttons (from Italy, no less!) I found this enchanting pattern in an old crochet book and it tugged at my heartstrings until I made it. Enjoy!

Finally finished! This was a custom order for Bailey in New York. I can hardly wait to see a picture of her in her new dress. I know she's going to look super!

Just Call Me "Red"!


Red is such a wonderful color! It's vibrant, powerful, and passionate and if you're going to wear it, get ready to be noticed.

Crochet cape with over-sized hood in, of course, BRIGHT RED! I used satin cording for curtains that I found at Hancock's and used it for the drawstring. Sold on Monday and off to live with a nice young lady in MI. :-)

Bailey's Dress



Bailey's Dress


Bailey loved her best friend's dress so she sent me a picture and asked, "Can you make a duplicate for me?" After weeks of collaboration, the lacey little confection nears completion and Bailey will have her wish. Now her friend can borrow the crochet version!
