The excitement of the holiday season begins the moment

the Special Day's parade sails on by.

With the appearance of old Saint Nick on the tail

end of that caravan,

kids and adults alike start preparing for

the arrival of Christmas.
To help mark the days and commence the countdown,

Christmas gifts are popular this time of year.

Here's how you can put your own creative spin on the concept,

plus incorporate the idea of hanging stockings into the design.
Some fun crafts are based on an idea presented

by Fun Magazines and utilizes stray socks,

mittens or pieces of scrap holiday fabric you may have on hand.

Fortunately, there are many easy ways a busy parent

(or grandparent, aunt or uncle) can engage children

in creative fun right at home.

And For you? Try Crochet!

Like me...

I love to peruse leaflets every so often but

have yet to buy anything; however,

I've got plenty of items saved in my Favorites area.

I'm always amazed at the creativity out there!

I discovered these little crocheted items about a month ago

and have been thinking about them ever since.

They also make sweet flowers!

And a LOT of different colors to choose from.

Guess what I was going to try for my friends,

lace table napkins and some lavender bags,

...finally? I hope.

As much as I wish I was more optimistic about that,

I’m hopeful nonetheless.

Up to you!

Do you like colorful laces?

Daisies, round patterns, grapes and lace curtains.

or NEED a new white blouse ?

I love, love, love these pieces.

They're super comfortable in the summer heat.

When starting to make a filet crochet,

you should always start with the ninth chain

on the first row from the hook.

This is the common way of starting a filet crochet.

There is a whole world of knitting out there,

and we are only limited by our imagination and belief in ourselves.

I crocheted these for my daughters as usual,

thinking hot (^_^) summer days.

Today computers have become an indispensible part of

our daily lives.

This is so because they have several vital advantages.

Obviously one very important advantage is that

they are utterly reliable.

Another major one is that they are great time-savers for searching new projects about crochet...

HOW DO YOU COLOR YOUR WORLD?

It is fun to visit blogs that have linked to mine, and see projects knitters are doing and what changes they have made to make the project their own. Yarns used or changes made in edgings, shaping, or other details. Sometimes, I will google a design to see what people are doing.

I have come across some very interesting blogs that way.

Take Care,

SMILING WITH YOUR HOOKS...

GREAT & FUNNY...

HELLO LADIES !

Still Thinking What To DO ?

I crocheted a new orange blouse,

I liked this white cardigan from The Leaflet...

Think for Doilies around your neck,

"TRY this impression comes from the look of
**Shhh.. Just whispered-**
A doily made of motifs really looks pretty intricate.",

Laces, Dresses " TRY Filet crochet....

A well known and somewhat old fashioned technique.,

(on a vast scale) scarfs as an elegant poncho,
stoles or A RED PONCHO ...

These take a long time!!

Yet, it is strangely addicting as well.

I am enjoying myself!

I love crocheting and I like finding new patterns

to keep my creative juices flowing.

In my opinion, both knit and crochet qualify as

"playing with yarn."

I enjoy the play, whatever form it takes.

We all have enough stress in our lives

with jobs, kids, households, etc. to maintain.
AND ME?
GONE CROCHETING!

HANDBAGS...

I knitted this handbag with flat-wide and velveting yarns.
Loops must be multiples of 10. 50-60 + 2 loops were enough for me.
Every two lines you'll change the yarns.
For the security of this handbag

I sewed a zip and I chose wooden handles
to carry it. I hope you'll like it then decide to try one for yourself.

Take it easy !

OR WHITE ONES

IN YOUR ROOMS ?

HERE YOU FIND SOME PATTERNS...

No lace pattern-books have been found to have been published in Spain.

The needle-made laces which came out of Spanish monasteries in 1830,

when these institutions were dissolved,

were mostly Venetian needle-made laces.

The humble endeavours of peasantry in England

(which could boast of no schools of design),

Germany, Sweden, Russia and Spain

could not result in work of so high artistic pretension as that of France and Flanders.

In the style of the laces made at Venice, Genoa, Ragusa and other places;

these French imitations were to be called " points de France."

By 1671 the Italian ambassador at Paris writes,

" Gallantly is the minister Colbert on his way to bring the

` lavori d'aria' to perfection."

Six years later an Italian, Domenigo Contarini,

alludes to the " punto in aria," " which the French can now do to admiration."

The styles of design which emanated from the chief of the French lace centre.

In the 8th century good lace was made in Devonshire,

but it is only in recent years that to some extent

the hand lace-makers of England and Ireland

have become impressed with the necessity of well-considered designs for their work.

Silk pillow lace making is carried on in Spain, especially at Barcelona.

The patterns are almost entirely imitations

from 18th-century French ones of a large and free floral character.
