...and we'll be on the clouds

Hi!

Yesterday I found an awesome bowls on Etsy in the shape of cloud. Of course, they are in my favs now :)

And then I decided to look around my favs for any other cloud-items and I found out that I have a few amazing cloud-themed things. So today's theme is "sky".
Take your seat comfortably and enjoy :)

Crochet tablecloth

I just understood that I forgot to show you my new crochet tablecloth! What was I thinking about?!

I finished it about 3 weeks ago and it have been already in my shop for a while.
It is made of pretty thin mercerised cotton. This tablecloth (or a big doily?) is square and it's not really big: about 47 inches length.

Go green!

Hi there!

I should admit that I'm a big fan of Etsy - the place of incredibly beautiful handmade items and vintage. I can walk around on Etsy for all day, admiring the color decisions, skillfully made ​​photos and just enjoying all the beauty that people can make with their own hands.
Unfortunately, I rarely have time to enjoy this beauty. But in recent days I realized that this is exactly what I was missing for a creative mood and a self-confidence, as an artist.
That's why I decided to add a new blog category in which I would like to share with you my findings from Etsy, which inspires me and which are totally in my wish-list :) Hope you'll find something interesting for yourself too!


Today's theme is green. I actually never thought that I like this color and green color shades. But about a year ago I start finding some beauty in it. As I think all items made in green have some freshness. Not that freshness that gives blue color or white. The freshness of grass, leaves on the trees, plants, etc.. I think this is a reason why  this color is so good for home decor - it can bring some leafy and nature notes in your place.

This fabric coiled basket can add a juicy note to your dinning area.
I think that the fruits in a green bowl looks so much mouth-watering, fresh and juicy than fruits in a grey or yellow bowl, for example, so you just want to take one and it eat it right now!

Fair Isle hat

Hi!
Here is one of my newest project - a hat with scandinavian patterns in black and blue colors.
I've found some realy great yarn. The palette of available colors is incredible! I want them all! And I have a lot of different projects in my mind to make with it.

So, here is a hat that I made with this yarn. It is 100% Peruvian Highland Wool. It is soft and warm. It can be a great gift as you know -  winter is coming! And it is better to have something like this hat to warm you up!

Who wants some Merlot?:)

Hi!
I remembered that I haven't show you my new shawl. Yes, this one.
So, here it is - red laced shawl in entrelac technique.
It was made with a blend of merino wool and tencel in one of my favorite color - Merlot.

As always - it is light and featherweight, though it is less laced than others.
It is pretty big and cozy :)

WIP: What it will be? ;)

Hi!
I've decided to show you not only the finished works but also some of them in the process. I have some really sweet feelings to photos with unfinished projects. It looks so cute when there is a needles and a hank of yarn near some knitted fabric, and it looks not really like it will be in a future after all blockings and washing... It's like some magic maybe. I don't know why but photos of such knitting process are always makes me feel good.
So today I want to share with you such photos of my next shawl.
I'm not going to tell you what pattern is it, I'll just show you a few photos :)
