Crochet meets Chanel

Remember this post about signature DIY bags? It seems there is a trend for the homemade, and for those of us who cannot crochet, some high end businesses do-it-for-us. On the other hand, for those of us who do crochet, they offer some inspiration, provided you are into this style.

P.S. If you do find a pattern to do this or something similar, you are welcome to guest post here.

N.B. FIY, yours trully does not crochet, and is not purchasing this bag, either.

Je veux :crochet:

I don't know how to. But I love it. I love seeing it. I fantasize about touching it. Cudling with my loved ones in it. Warm colors. Vibrant colors. Pastel colors. All the women I knew who could crochet thought it was not necessary for me to learn, that it was not worthy a task. Silly thinking.

Think of it that way: What will you do if you get old and your vision fails you? Crochet, of course! (Plus the classics in audio books, classic music~start to finish and the Bible in mp3 or 4 or 8!)
Never mind. You know and I love seeing your work! Keep it up and enjoy!

N.B. Perhaps I could learn, following this post and this post?

Pink and Green crafts

I am all for pink and green especially in the Spring. I am pleasantly surprised by how pink and green, a very fresh combination, translates to beautiful in warmer materials, such as felt, and every day items, such as pincushions.
Pink and green pincushion for the crafty-wooly sister/teacher/mother.

This one from feltmates at etsy.

And this one, part of a lovely cup cake style collection from here.

There are felt hairclips from here.


And there is also crochet, not in the usual ecru or folksy brights, but in lovely pastels from here.

Oh look, they also do one in The Happy Turtle colors!



These are my favorites for today. Spring photo session bonnets from Baby K Designs.

Preppy or Mother-Earthy, there is a time for pink and green for everyone.
