cellphone charms

I'm back from Spain and have more than 500 photos! Incredible, very beautiful country! I'm in love to the sea, sun, buildings, people, roads.. :) May be I will write a little bit of my trip on another day.

I'm back to Estonia and here is so snowy and white. Inspired of silence. This is a little cute cellphone charm, can be used on keychain, mp3-player, camera, purse, handbag etc. 

Available in my Etsy shop in section Pouches and Charms.
Beautiful Women's Day!

Crystal Delight Bookmark

New cute bookmark is available in my Etsy shop at the section "Bookmarks". It's tiny, only 8.5 cm long (3.3"), czech firepolished beads are AB coated and sparkling beautifully. Click to the picture for more information.

crocheted doilies as coasters

Some of little doilies look like lacy pancakes :) I have crocheted them using white 100% cotton yarn. Pattern is available for free on my favorite web: MyPicot.com. I have modified last two rows a little bit. So this doily measures about 13 cm (5").

The crocheted doily can be used as a coaster or a jam-jar cover. It's pretty, isn't it?

One crocheted doily more:

This one measures 10 cm (about 4"), used the same 100% cotton yarn. I think that coasters can be multi-colored, so joyfully change the look on any kitchen.

re-used

There was an old crocheted cover for a pillow, I crocheted it at school many times ago. It was very big one, about 60x60 cm. Unuseable. But my mom has diplomatically told me that the crocheted cover is beautiful and I get the "A" in a school. I renewed the cover to the doily, just attached a crocheted red lace around. I think the new item is more practical.

beadwoven bookmarks for any occasion

I love to read books, so I love to create bookmarks too. These cute pieces are simple beautiful on a bookshelf.

If you are not romantic, look at this spider. Awful! You can be assured that nobody takes the book you are reading :)

The using of the bookmark is simple - just slide the long metal part between the pages and let the beaded portion dangle down the back spine of the book.

All these bookmarks are available in my Etsy shop in the section "Bookmarks".

natural linen table runner with crocheted flowers and lace

Do you remember I have won "Unloved" handmade journal? This journal is so very cute! So I decided to send the little "thank you gift" to Renate (Kreativlink). She was very surprised! :D (read about the surprise in her blog). Renate has scolded me a little, but I consider that gifts are similar so nobody should bear a grudge :)

The second one table runner I have send to my lovely granny. She has learnt me to crochet, knit, embroider and others handmade. Details and lace pattern of this table runner are available on my Ravelry.

I have more linen, so custom orders are welcome :)

beadwoven ring with Swarovski rivoli

I have read in different articles that beadwoven rings are very convenient for wearing. This my first ring with rivoli Swarovski. I wish to test it, how much it is strong and wearable. And this ring really is very pleasant, don't want to put it off from a finger. It does not press, flexible, easily to put on and off from finger, almost it is not felt on a hand. I'm happy with this ring.

Used Swarovski rivoli 14 mm, Toho 11/o and 15/o. Size of ring is 15.5 (I hoped get the size 16, but I did a mistake in weave, so I'm wearing it on a little finger now).

stitch markers and holder, 2

It's update for my yesterday posting. I added a pin to stitch marker holder. So the Heart Marker Holder can be used as a shawl pin or a brooch.

Simple and cute :)

stitch markers and holder

Fot continuation of my project I need Stitch Markers. I never made them before, so I think that the stitch markers should be small, appreciable, bright and light. I used silver plated copper wire and small (4 mm) acrylic beads in red and green. Here are 10 stitch markers I made. Then I needed something to hold them together, on a case when I do not use them. This gently curving heart keep my stitch markers together and safe:

It's cute, isn't it? :) Wish happy Valentine's Day! :D

The stitch markers are easy for removing and putting on back on the Heart Marker Holder:

And the last photo, the set is tiny as you can see, the Heart Marker Holder measures approximately 5 cm:

Custom orders are welcome, if you like this set :) Just send me a message or comment this post and I will made the similar for you. Your Heart Marker Holder may vary slightly in shape, but still promises to be adorable.

cuff bracelet of garnet beads

It was an old garnet necklace (I have forgotten to make a photo. Thought it would be interest for looking "before" and "after" photos). The customer has wished to make a wide bracelet with a toggle clasp. The garnet beads are different size, so I added a little seed beads and made it in right-angle weave.
