Painted doily Mandala

Finally I found some time to concentrate on finishing one of my pending projects - a painted doily.

It's made with sewing threads of different color shades organised in circular designs. I don't know how I came up with such a name for it - mandala doily, but looking at these circular designs  with a smooth change of colors  reminded me of mandalas.

The size of the doily is 32 cm in diameter. Still it's waiting for its final setting.

Lacy Baby Photo Prop set

Here is another baby wrap, this time in a set with a hat, headband and two bracelets decorated with purls and beads.

I used a very soft fine yarn (100% acrylic  100 gr. 1220 m)  and a crochet hook 1O mm for the wrap, 6 mm for the hat, and 3 mm for the headband and bracelets.

It is the sweetest photography prop ever, but is not intended for every day use. 

Since it’s crocheted using a super large hook, this lacy wrap comes out very light and airy.

Lacy Mohair Baby Wrap Photo Prop

This article is only a photo prop, I'm not sure if anybody can use it daily for a baby. This lacy wrap provides transparency, so that every curve and fold of a cute naked munchkin can be seen.
This lacy newborn wrap is a very versatile piece and can be put on top of baby, under baby or wrapped around baby like a cocoon or bowl. And it's immensely stretchable.

I used a lovely super fine kid mohair yarn (30gr. 320m) and 12mm size needles.

Little mermaid set

I just don't know how to present this photo prop set. The picture says everything! Just enjoy imagining how your sweet cutie will look like in this costume.

Here are nice little mermaid cocoon with  starfish headband and a beanie with a shell broach  Fortunately, I could find a thorough video tutorial how to make the cocoon. For the shell stitch beanie I found some useful information on this site.
Here is another description for a mermaid cocoon I just found.  It's great thing when people eagerly share their experience!
