Custom Fun

I had a new customer with a special order in sosorosey this past week.  She found a bowl that she loved, but was hoping to have it in a different color.  She wanted something in green, blue, or purple.  I hunted around in my fabric stash and sent her some photos of different options.  She chose one right away- this lovely tie-dyed cotton in deep purple and indigo.

I'll tell you a secret- I made this bowl twice.  I used a larger hook the first time around and didn't care for it at all.  So, the next night, I took it apart and crocheted it again with the hook I usually use for these.  Much better!  I LOVE the way this one turned out, and even better, so does my customer!  Nothing better than a happy ending :)

Makeover Monday: 2/14

I had a special request in sosorosey for a large upcycled tray. The desired color was primarily pink, but my customer was hoping for a few other pastels as well.

We decided on these two fabrics; the first is a pale pink cotton rosebud sheet from Simply Shabby Chic, and the other is a vintage sheet from my collection.

I finished this last night and can't wait to show my customer! I hope it's exactly what she envisions for her white seashell display.

Happy Valentine's Day! May you have much love and many joys to celebrate on this day :)
