Surprise

Last Friday I bought a bouquet to brighten up my home and bring some Spring colours in. This bouquet is composed of a couple of fuchsia roses, a fuchsia gerbera daisy, a bunch of small white chrysanthemums, a lot of ferns and other green “stuff” among which there were these green odd-shaped things that I really hadn’t the idea of what they were… until yesterday….. when I got home from work I found this lovely surprise….

This little “adventure” made me realise how ignorant I am about flowers….

the gerbera, lilium and chrysanthemum connection!

Infinity scarf

This infinity scarf is still from my Xmas Gifts Series…. I crocheted this for my friend Paola’s daughter, Marta. I hope the blend of purple, fuchsia, ecc… is fashionable enough for her!

Pouch frenzy

I’ve got the pouch frenzy! Here is another pouch I made with some Ikea fabric with pink and beige stripes. I added a fuchsia zip and two beige flaps on both sides. Not bad, uh! 🙂

Pink Shamballa

Some time ago I bought some pink/fuchsia silk cord with the idea to make a Shamballa bracelet with it. Finally I have found some gold beads with a large hole that looked like they could match well with the string. And here is the result. I bit unusual, but I like it. Moreover I realized that working with silk string is a lot easier than using waxed cotton cord.

Blue and fuchsia

Last week, in the window of an expensive fashion jewellery shop in Milan city centre I saw a bracelet made with a glass bead and some silk string and I thought it didn’t look too difficult to duplicate… So here is the result.
