Sweet Petite Crochet Doily

Yes, I am still in the mood of crocheting doilies... 
I have chosen this simple design from my crochet book collections.
This is really a small doily piece but beautiful.
I just love the colour combinations... very sweet indeed!



Have a great week, my dear crafty  friends! 
...continue to enjoy doing your sewing projects.

Festive Crochet Doily

Welcoming the Year of the Dragon... 
and wishing all a Happy Chinese New Year! 
Red colour is seen almost everywhere...
on the streets, in shopping malls & in the homes.



With the festive mood in the air, I completed a simple crochet
... a petite doily in bright red! 
I have crocheted some beads at the edges of the doily too!

Happy crocheting and sewing... 
do have a great week, my dear friends!

Back to Crocheting!

It has been a long break from crocheting ... 
I have been spending time doing my sewing and patchwork 
for the past two months! 

So it is time for my crochet again... 
as usual looking out for new doily patterns. 
I just love doing doilies because they are small and yet pretty!



This is the first doily ...  I love the yarn's mixed colours; 
white and pink! And there are more to come...
Until then, have a fabulous week!

Home Sweet Home III in progress

Another 'Home Sweet Home' series.....
in the making, in fact very slowly!
This is a patchwork piece sewn by hand; a table runner...
using the same collection of fabrics 
as my earlier 'Home Sweet Home' projects.


  I just love these fabric prints.. 
beautiful and sweet with various house designs... 
& potted plants of different shapes and forms.. 
also love the colours! 
 
Using matching polka dot fabrics to create blocks of 6 by 6 inches..

and now hoping it will completed soon!

Happy sewing, my friends!

Hello 2012 !

Wishing everyone a fabulous new year...

I have made this handmade fabric flag banner, 
selecting fabrics with similar theme... cupcakes - yummy, yummy!. 
Very bright & cheerful banner to welcome the new year!
(apologies for the poor photography lighting)


...beautiful and 'delicious' cupcakes prints; sewn on alternate flags, 
using the hand sewn applique stitching technique. 


  Hope you like them just as I do...
