LOVELY TATTED SEA SHELL DOILY, BY THE SEA CROCHET BOWL, ETIMO ROSE CROCHET HOOKS and STASH BUSTER CHALLENGE

Hello Everyone, Happy Spring..

Our Spring this year has been very undecided and whimsical indeed. Just when we think it is going to get warmer snow flakes fall from the sky. Grrrrr..

On a more happier note I received a surprise in the mail last week...

 Wendy my long time Dear  Friend from Singapore sent me a birthday pressie. Wendy's lovely blog is called
 "Umi & Tsuru"..  The tatted Sea Shell Doily came in a lovely flowery envelope.. Inside was a very lovely and delicate tatted "Sea Shell" Doily... Thank you Wendy for such a lovely and thoughtful gift...

 How did Wendy know that I keep singing this song "By The Sea", By The Sea, By the Beautiful Sea",  in my head all of the time for over a year now..This song just seems to stay with me. Strange, Hey??

So since January I have been creating wee things with By The Sea in mine.

I have made many Tyvek Beads with the Sea and Sand colors... I been gifted some lovely Sea Glass and Sea Shells to embellish my creations... 

I bought the above beautiful Plymouth Encore Colorspun Yarn because I thought all the waves of colors in it looked like that of the Sea.. ( Color # 7747)..  I bought the yarn at Nautical Yarns in Ludington, Mi.  

This yarn shop is pretty close to my home so I visit it often... It has 3 room full of glorious yarns..

 I am not very creative when it come to crocheting yet... vbg  I need patterns and most of the time photo tutorial which really help me allot. 

I have to thank Tammy at " T's Daily Treasures"   for her posting  a week ago.. Tammy's lovely wee gift bag with Starfish was very inspirational..

Pretty crocheted Starfish..and Sea Shells with lovely sparkling beads..

I made a crocheted bowl... Oh how I love to embellish... So I added starfish and Seashells...with bling...inside and out..

Then I added the sea and sand Tyvek Beads.. All the beads were a different size and color too..
I had 3 Starfish made and they were all different shade of blue of the Sea from the lovely Yarn..

What do you all think of My "By The Sea" crochet bowl??

I recently discovered Edda from Iceland and her very lovely blog called 
"Hvitar Rosir"...Edda creates some very very beautiful and creative crochet items.  You must visit her sometime..

 During my visit I discovered some very exquisite "Pink" crochet hooks Edda had pictured...

I am a passionate Pink Person...  I instantly fell in love with them.. I had never seen them before anywhere so they must be fairly new???

I went searching for these lovely shades of Pink crochet hooks and found them at Amazon..  Good Old Amazon..  LOL

They came in only 4 days. Huge Very Big Smile..  

They are not only beautiful but like heaven to crochet with... I highly recommend them..

WONDERS OF NATURE TYVEKS BEADS FANCY YARNS

Hello Everyone,

Spring has finally really arrived in the loveliest way!  Mother Robin took up housekeeping in my Clematis Bush!

This very lovely French Lilac Bush is in it 4th Spring and these are it first ever blooms.  I told it last Summer if it did not bloom this Spring I was going to give it the boot.  LOL I guess talking to your flowers and bushes really works.

 

I am still creating Tyveks Beads. Love them.   I also found some Buttons that looked like Sea Shells to me.  I plan to use them in a seascape in the near future.  I bought some more Martha Stewart Pearl Paints so more beautiful Tyvek beads will be created soon. 

More lovely Pink/Gold Tyvek Beads. I really enjoy making them.  They always come out uniquely different.

My sweetie and I went on a road trip down to the Indiana Amish Country.  Lately I have been in the Yarn Mood and I found the most neatest Yarn Shop.  I found some very creative wools.  

Some very pretty yarn called Little Flowers which I really like allot.  I know I will need to add another yarn with it before I use it but not sure what kind.  Has anyone ever used the Little Flower Yarn??

I also found some very lovely sparkling Ribbons. Any ideas what to make with it??

Below is My sweet Grand Daughter which I finally got to visit with at Easter Time.  We all went out to dinner together.  She warms my heart and makes me smile.  What a joy to have grand children.

I have been stitching on My Anne OF Green Gable journal page and it is about 80% finished.  It has been 2 years in the making.  lol  So hopefully next time I will have some stitching to share with you all.  

I would like to wish all My Blogging Friends a Very Fun and Enjoyable Happy Mother's Day.  

Hugs Judy
