Petals Pearls and Lace

I had the good fortune to run across this crocheters impressive baby hats today while walking at the mall. There are at least two shops at Chesterfield Mall that sell the wares of local artists. I always go in, looking for crochet. Seldom do I find any. There is the occasional scarf and cute baby booties. But, when I saw these little baby beanies, I knew I had to share them with you.

I have yet to meet this designer. If she appears at the upcoming Green With Indie Craft Fair, I might be able to track her down for an interview. In the meantime, I nosed around her website a bit more and found a number of things I like, including these colorful bags.

You can check out these and other pretties on Shirley’s website Petals, Pearls, & Lace .

If you love adding little handmade touches to your Christmas decorating, this Christmas Poinsettia Candle Cozy from CraftBits is such a pretty project. It is festive, eye-catching, and just the sort of small crochet make that can add a lovely pop of holiday color to a table, shelf, or mantel.

What I really like about this pattern is that it feels special without being overwhelming. It is a sweet seasonal project for dressing up battery tea lights, and the poinsettia design gives it that classic Christmas look that never gets old. It would be gorgeous as part of a holiday centerpiece or made up in a few sets for decorating around the house.

You might have seen this one featured on Crochet.CraftGossip before, and it is easy to see why it is worth another look. It is cheerful, decorative, and a lovely way to bring a little crochet into your Christmas styling without taking on a huge project.

If you are in the mood for a small festive make, this one is definitely a pretty pick.
