... To The Front Page On Etsy!

I was thrilled when I found my item featured on the front page of Etsy!
It was the first time it happened to me!
I just have to share this with you. :)
Here is a screen photo of that page. The treasury's theme was "Inspired by St. Patrick's Day".



The lucky item that made it to the front page on Etsy is: 4-leaf Lucky Clover - Thread Crochet Coasters Doilies, Set of 2.


I found the pattern for the coaster in a book. I added the green border and tiny crocheted clovers.


I made two more things related to St. Patrick's Day:

- Irish Shamrock pin. It is crocheted with cotton threads size 10 and 3.

- 4 Irish Shamrocks - Thread Crochet Coasters

Placemats for Tom

Tom is my son.
He's just moved in to his new apartment.
He had his Birthday a couple of days ago.
I made the 2 sets of placemats and coasters for him.
To make these I used Aunt Lydia's Quick Crochet yarn, juniper in color with milk accents.

Variations on Christmas Tapestry Doily

One may wonder why I mention Christmas in time of Spring and Easter. Well, Christmas Tapestry Doily is the original pattern designed in green, red and white colors. I have always been wanting to make it in different colors combination.
First time I've had a chance to do so for Thread Artists Team Color Artistic Challenge. I used navy blue, chambray and bridal blue colors. These are my favorite colors. The photo shows my Blue Tapestry Doily.



The next time has come when one of my customers required to have this pattern done in red, orange and golden yellow colors combination. And this is the result - Fiery Tapestry Doily.



I like to play with colors in my crochet projects. I'll be posting about it when I have them ready.
