Silk Threads

Its been a while since I have been working with Embroidery floss.  I recently received huge stock of silk embroidery threads.

Of course I was thrilled to bits to see so many vibrant colors.

Alas my excitement was very short lived!

It was an experience to work with silk threads - constantly slipping out of my fingers.  Had to join lots of them to get a single earring!  What do you think of the outcome?

Ruffled Scarves

I have been following The Crochet Crowd through their newsletters and their you tube videos.  I had seen so many of these lacey yarns and was too eager to work on them.  Finally came across The Crochet Crowd you tube video which explained how to use the crochet hook with these laces

This was all I needed to get started and I could not help buying all those yarns and laces..

Coffee Table Topper

Add some vintage elegance to dazzle up your living room! This is a crocheted coffee table topper 17 x 12 inches, made with cotton threads and 3D flowers.

Although this was fairly easy project to do, the process was very tedious to build small pieces and  join them together.  Once it was done it still didn't sit well.  I spent more time in trying to use stiffener to stiffen piece by piece including the flowers.  I think I almost took same time to fix the shape as much as on crocheting this piece!


I have placed this on different backgrounds to see the effects.  Which one do you think is better?
