Vinspiration Part 2

This vintage washcloth by Pequot was such a lucky find last week.  I found its mate as well!  The blues are so scrumptious together that I had a new burst of vinspiration.

~*~

I rounded up two blue cottons- a blue-violet and a robin's egg and crocheted one of my fancified double thick coaster/trivets.  These are 8.5" in diameter and protect surfaces beautifully.  The Muse customers seem to like these, so I'll add a few more color options in sosorosey to see if Etsy people will like them too!

Thursday's Treasure: Mother's Day Ready

There isn't much that makes me happier than finding a way to create something unique that is both fun and functional. And if it serves multiple purposes? Well, that's just pure bliss!

~*~

Just in time for spring and Mother's Day, please welcome the upcycled wallflower. Crocheted entirely from freshly laundered, repurposed fabrics, these are a super fun way to really *go green*!

~*~

While it's certainly no thrill to BE a wallflower, having or giving one of these is a sure way to celebrate the pure and simple joy of the growing season.

At a generous 8" diameter, the wallflower can be a coaster/trivet under your favorite beverage, potted plant, pitcher or casserole. When not in use, it brightens up a hook or wall space with a touch of color and splash of whimsy.

~*~

Fun idea: order a set and decorate an entire sunporch wall or child's room! Happily made to order in any color under the sun :)

Makeover Monday: 1/4

A special returning customer recently asked me to make her a 9" round trivet. She asked that it be kind of like the *anchors aweigh* bowl currently for sale in my shop. Knowing that she loves vintage fabrics, I decided that this old cotton sheet would be perfect for the job.

Here is the end result!

I love that you can still make out the floral pattern. These roses are so beautiful, they deserve to be showcased for a few more decades, don't you think?
