Nautical Knot Bracelets

These are done with hemp and something we called macrame' in the olden days. I used a lighter color hemp and some nautical charms and they are just as appropriate for a day of sailing as they are for a love-in at the beach.

Thread Crochet Jewelry

I made these thread flower bracelets from a pattern by Tatyana Mirer in Crochet!Magazine April 2014

And then I had an inspiration to create a necklace with these charming jade Buddhas and a thread crocheted lotus.A customer told me it was "full of feminine energy." :)

You can find them at Downtown Sol.

Mermaids!

Summer is coming and our thoughts turn to the beach, what will we find there? Sea glass? A shiny perfect shell? Or a friendly mermaid swimming up to the nearby rocks, perhaps to warm her skin in the sun?
They are available at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum gift shop.

New pictures!

 Another update, September 2014: Two more new mermaids!
Meet Teal and Orchid basking in the late summer sun sporting long locks of shiny metallic infused hair.

Lemons, Oranges and Strawberries-Fresh New Tote Bags and more...

I sewed some new long handled tote bags for the Santa Paula Agricultural Museum. They have fresh lemons and oranges on them and snappy linings.

I also made some matching keychains.

Hopping Along Toward Spring

I designed a new bunny for this year. The tail is really fluffy.

Cupcake Baby Blanket

I made the cupcake blanket to go with the cute cupcake hats, the pattern is also from Sharon Mann in the February/March 2014 issue of crochet today!

Sea Creatures for the Channel Islands Maritime Museum

I sent a bunch of stuff over there this morning for their big anniversary event this weekend. Most of the things are items I blogged before and are just moving to a new home, but I also made some new items. (Sorry the photo is a little weird on the jellyfish, normally the ruffle under the smile is flipped down more, pretend that it is. :) )

Cupcake Hat

This one is from someone else's pattern. You can find it in February/March 2014 issue of crochet today! This very cute pattern is by artist Sharon Mann.

My darling husband made me a hat rack for the shop and I painted it yesterday, it's so cute!

 Valentine's stuff on my shelf at Downtown Sol! A workshop for the felt cupcake and owl on the far left is this Friday, please join me!
