Tiny Easter Eggs

 

Mini Easter Eggs are so cute and they can decorate any Easter Card, they are not bulky and look so cute. They come in a set of 20 for $3. You can always order less or more, any amount. Just contact me and let me know by email belova23@gmail.com. I made a cute card and added three eggs with rhinestone center (rhinestones can also be added to yours if you wish). I know my friend Diane also used these tiny eggs on one of her cards. I will be adding a link to her post later if she does not mind. The eggs are about 0.75 x 0.5 inches.

Enjoy!

My Etsy Shop and Butterfly Card

Here is the link to my Etsy Shop.

 Hot Off The Hook


You can check it out to see what's available immediately. But I am more than happy to fulfill your orders from whatever you see on my blog, because there's so much more!

And here is the card I made using one of the butterflies from my previous post.

Enjoy and thank you for stopping by!


Beautiful Butterflies



I am trying my best to organize this new blog all by myself. If any of you know a great source with blog design tutorials, please leave the info in your comments. I appreciate your help. I decided to start with these gorgeous butterflies that I fell in love with, I found the pattern (mostly all of them) on Pinterest, it's easy to make, that's why I am offering them at a very low price  of $3.00 for 18 butterflies any color. They are approximately 1 inch and antennae can be cut off without any damage to the body if you decide to add your own antennae.

I also made a card using one of those butterflies which I am going to post next time.

Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think.

My New Blog

Hello friends!

I decided to make a new blog dedicated completely to my crochet work. A little piece of history. I learned to crochet when I was about 10 years old, nobody in particular taught me but my mom showed me a couple of stitches. I was so determined to learn, so I tried and tried and made a lot of doilies and hair scrunchies. I always loved to crochet with thin cotton thread that's why I never made any large clothing pieces or anything with yarn. That was a long time ago in Russia.

Several years ago I started making scrapbooks and cards, this is how I found small crocheted flowers and other appliques can be used as embellishments. Seeing the crazy prices on those cute tiny pieces made me want to make them myself, I even brought a hook and some thread I had used a long time ago from Russia. So I tried...and failed. Not that I completely forgot how to, but I did not have any patterns and could not make them up myself.

Youtube to the rescue. Another bummer...I don't understand English abbreviations and stitches. I guess I am very patient and persistent. Slowly I re-learned all the basics and started looking for some patterns,  bought a couple of books, and then Pinterest opened its doors for all of us crafters. Now..if only I have more time. Tons and tons of patterns and tutorials.

I started making and using my flowers on my cards and soon found out some friends are eager to purchase them, so I started offering them at a very low price. I even opened my own etsy shop for crocheted embellishments.

On this blog I will be posting everything that I make and you can browse and see if you like anything then contact me by email with your requests. I keep the prices very low and include extra pieces with every order. I love comments too.

Thank you and hope to see you on my blog.
