I have been a busy crocheter and sewer with lot's of beading thrown in there. I have a few pictures that my sweet husband put on here for me and I am trying to get info onto each photo, but it's not always working for me, so may have to wait till hubby gets home from the office, so he can help me get the rest of information on here.
I love to do crafts, and had not realized just how much stuff I have gotten done, in the last few months, until I pulled out everything and started taking pictures of it. So thought I would share with my friends here on AARP, at what I do in my studio here at home.
Remember I do not crochet with patterns, it just starts and flows into what ever it wants to be, if you look at some of the pictures you can see some of the large spools of threads that I use. They come in pounds, not ounces, LOL. My last shipment was 35 pounds of yarn, that was about 7 spools. The yarns I use are small mostly, but I do use some textured nubby styles, also. I love the effects that gives. When I fringe an outfit, I wrap the yarn around a hard back book, then cut, then pile up the cut yarn and hand tie each strand of yarn on.
I love to buy a plain looking jacket or top and then bead it up, I hand sew all the tiny glass beads on and I love doing this. Sometimes I find lace, or trim, or broken jewerly and use it in my creations.
The Demin & Lace jacket, is a plain jacket I purchased from Speigles, I loved the cut lines & style of the jacket, then I took lace from an old photo book cover I had, and embellished the lace all over parts of the jacket, then upon the lace I hand sewed the tiny glass beads in pink and crystals. It really sets the jacket off.
Hope you enjoy looking at the photo's of my creations, I still have more to take pictures of.
Yes, I wear the hat's also, love them.
