Dancing Fan Necklace

Cute necklace completes the set with these earrings. Center pieces are so small and delicate as the pieces in the earrings. St.Petersburg chain is also gentle. Clear and golden beads give to the set a bridal kind.

Great Finds: coasters on Etsy

This is a new heading with the name Great Finds in my blog. I hope to update it monthly. And first items are coasters. Just tiny and cute pieces in houseware. These can be crocheted, sewed, made of paper and wood. I think the coasters will add a little celebratory spirit. I'm very inspired with and have started crochet some coasters for my home.

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.

Dancing Fan Earrings

Cute small earrings measure aprox. 2.5 cm (about 1") including ear wire. I used golden and transparent seed beads, czech drop beads and vermeil gold findings. Design by Gwen Fisher.

Instead of drop beads I wished to use tourmaline rondelles. Unfortunately rondelles had very small hole. I tried to use a thin needle size 15, but unsuccessfully. I don't know what to do with these tourmaline rondelles now..

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 :)

cookies "Nuts"

We have found a great baking pan in our old barn. It is for making these tasty cookies, what look like walnuts. Inside of cookies are condensed milk with nuts. Yum-yummi! 

baltic amber ring

This beautiful ring is made of natural Baltic amber chips, connected to silver plated ring base. Ring size is adjustable. This amber ring is sold, but I can made another one with amethyst, obsidian, aventurine, quartz, African jade, garnet or amber chips.

unloved

Today is fantastic Monday's day! I have won this lovely handmade journal from Renate - Kreativling. I can't believe it! Renate named this journal "Unloved", because nobody wanted it. I really don't know why. Look! It is beautiful, unique, handmade item!

I have never won something before in my life. Many thanks for Renate, you did my day today :) I will use this journal for my beadwork scetches. I love it so much and can't wait its arrival.
