I finally made something from the first crochet book I picked up about a year ago (when I didn't know how to crochet). The book is "Lacy Crochet" by Chronicle Books which was on clearance a while back.
I modified the pattern a little bit because I couldn't get the hang of the border but I still think they turned out cute. They just need some spring flowers in them!

Lacy Crochet
Crochet fireplace garland
I took all the blue/green flowers and granny squares I've been addicted to making and created a garland for the living room. It makes me happy when I see it!
The big flowers are from a Japanese crochet book (Crochet Motif vol.4). They've been ALL over blogland and flickr these past few months....
Thank you gft
A friend and her husband gifted us one of his amazing paintings. He's very influenced by time spent in Japan so I embroidered the words "gratitude" and "friend" onto some linen and made them into patchwork coasters. Wish I could say they loved them but they've never arrived! Such a bummer!! :(

crochet refashion
I couldn't pass up this $1.99 100% lambswool sweater in a dark green color but the collar was coming undone in places. I embellished it with some crochet flowers made out of thrifted wool/acrylic yarn and I have an instant new favorite sweater!

My favorite part of the birthday
I love creating birthday treat bags. My 6 year old did me the favor of inviting only girls to his birthday party (except his brother) and decided to have it at Fairyland. I LOVE creating birthday treat bags with girls in mind!
These treat bags were filled with a crocheted flower necklace (medallions for the boys), recycled TP name banners for each of them, and a small journal made out of cereal boxes and a hand carved castle stamp. So much fun to put together and very well received! :)
