The thread that holds my world together.

I guess that is a feeling everyone who is not a teenager suffers from :), or suffered in the past. When it overwhelmes me, I have my threads, it’s like they hold time together. The stitches are the same, the crochet hook awaits patiently, it soothes me down, and I regain control on the running time. I cannot stop it, but the beauties the thread creates bring me a smile. And so I return to my crochet love, after all the transgressions, it’s there waiting faithfully for me to return, to make one more pair of crochet earrings, or to learn a new stitch.

Handmade in Shabby chic meets Vintage

I like the different ages in fashion, styles, trends, they all tell a stroy of those years. Now I see this shabby chic trend, the need to relax, and the need to do that in the comfort of your house, comfy and full of light, off nature, with dear ones on your side.  Also, it appears the vintage style, never goes out of fashion, and here we have a tint drop of the 30’s, because why not ?! Enjoy!

Walking the city

I guess I miss the city more than I thougt. I miss the anonimity ant the noise, the creativity and the originality, the little everyday surprises, and the smell it has in the spring. So, enjoy a galery of vintage and handmade finds, with the city in mind. Maybe it will inspire you to take a sunday walk and open your heart and mind to embrace the city, don’t forget the camera and the music, for me, today, the 80’s do the trick 🙂

Handmade loves spring and spring loves flowers

Yes, the spring is coming, after  a weird, too cold or too warm winter. The spirits get restles, and the creations all turn into flowers. All artisans make at least a flower to celebrate spring, little birds in the sky and the comeback of the sun. What can I say, we are suckers for spring.

Treasured thanks to Uligo shop on Etsy, my cream round earrings, crochet with natural cotton, can be found here .I know they are not with flowers but we do have some flowers too, so don’t be shy, come and visit.

Treasured thanks to ShopDreamsofCrochet on Etsy. My pink spiral crochet earrings can be found in the shop.

No limits to autumn handmade fashion trends

As I said : No limit! It appeares that this great autumn color palette is a huge inspiration. So it actually rains with treasuries : ))

First we have “Autumn Glory” by Solandia: with a lot of warm colours, knitted mittens and shawls, crocheted bag and earrings..and leaves, a lot of leaves:

 

 

Second, we have “Autumn colurs” again by Solandia, with a bit of intensity, in red and green, knitted bag, crochet earrings, crochet vase, and felted leaves,…as you can see,  more leaves : ))

 

 

Third, with a more fresh yellow green palette we have “Sun in the forest” by EgrettaGarzetta. A bit minimalistic, and geometric, with green crochet earrings, art deco tote bag, and a foxy pillow:

 

 

And forth, “Colored winter” by Mehru, , with a bit of contrast, between orange and black, just as I like it. You have a great hand knitted sweater, crochet orange earrings, black boots, and leaf pandant, among other great findings.

 

And that is only for today. You can find a lot more beautiful autumn finds , here on my Treasury Pinterest board, updated almost daily. Have fun!

Handmade original crochet silk necklace for the always bohemian

I kinda got lost on words of description…: )) Romantic is the same as bohemian? What is hipster to be exact? And who sais the chic is right?

So all that aside, here is my latest creation, a playful crochet necklace, with fine synthetic silk thread, in blue, mauve, lila and pink (went a little on a spring palette there), with antique plated brass chain and elements.  Soon to follow, a matching pair of earrings of course.

 

 

 

 

Blue textile necklace – from me to me

Finally!  I am my worst client, so pretentious and so demanding.  It’s more than a year since I had this project in mind. And of course I always postponed. I always find the reasons. But textile jewelry appeals to me a lot, and I think it will be an interesting match with crochet, and tatting techniques ( just got my tatting shuttles and started to learn about it : )). So this is my first textile necklace and the ring to match it.
