Makeover Monday: 11/30

I started with an ordinary ball of cotton string...
~*~ ...threw in some festive metallic crochet thread...

...and voila! Natural feeling and sassy looking at the same time, these new stars measure 3.25" across. Aren't they fun? They will be sold in sets of 3 in sosorosey very soon!

Happy Monday!

It's a bowl, it's a nest, it's...

... the jute bowlee!

I'd wanted to try my hand at crocheting twine for some time, but was always put off by the rough and scary texture. The other day I decided to brave it, and I'm so glad I did! I love the way the natural fibers come together in an almost felted look. The manly jute combines with the femininity of the bowlee size and shape to make this the perfect gift for anyone on the shopping list. Peek here for more photos!
