A New Challenge

Hi!!!

It's Monday again and so...it's time for a new challenge for myself...LOL!!!

I'm a crochet addicted lately and so, as I'm a beginner, every new project is a challenge for me! But this one...wow...it's a big one!!!!

When I saw this amazing shawl...I immediately decided that...I have to make one for my self!

I found the free pattern HERE and in no time...I went to the yarn shop and bought a beautiful yarn that is a mix of cotton and viscose. The color is awesome, a very bright pearl grey...

I found that the pattern is easy to follow also for a beginner but requires lots of hours of work and surely you can't make it while you are watching television...or at least...I can't! But this is the thing I love the most...I have to stay thuned with the pattern, it requires all my concentration and attention and so...while I'm making it...I can't think to anything else...job, housework, cooking, laundry...

I found this soooo mind relaxing!!!!!

Ok...this is what I've already done...I think it's turning out cute and I can't wait to wear it!

But I think I still need ..."few" hours of work on it...LOL!!!!

I'll keep you posted about my progresses!!!

Have a nice Monday and a great start of week!!!!

Hugs!!!

New weekly challenge: enchanted forest

Every week the Europeanstreetteam host a challenge between all the members!This week the host is Blue Terracotta that won last week challenge.

She chose the theme "The enchanted Forest" and this is my entry!

I called it "In the middle of the forest" and you can find it in my shop!





It's a very cute canvas wristlet.


It has has a felt black unicorn and a cute little felt pink fairy appliquè on it.


I did the embroidery and the appliquè by hand


I've also added a nice lace on the top of the wristlet!


It's completely lined with a 100% cotton fabric, interfaced with a light medium interface for give it body and shape and well padded with a medium weight batting so it's perfect not only for your keys, lip balm, driver licence and all the little things you have in your big bag but also for your cell phone or ipod or camera!


It's closed with a matching zipper!


This is the perfect accessory for any romantic and "girly" girl and make a great gift!


It's about 8" long and 6" tall and the wrist strap is 7".


It has a really nice shape, not the classic squared or rectangular wristlet!
