SOMETHING PINK FOR MY MAIN MAN

My husband doesn't own anything pink, so i think that it's hight time for him to add a bold pop to his repertoire!

I whipped this up for him, using the chillmark scarf pattern. I think it will look amazing with his complexion! Heres to hoping he thinks so too!

AND THIS ONE'S FOR ME! "SELFISHNESS" IN PINK AND BLACK

I sold out of these, so sorry for now, but this one's for me. I'm working on some more, and i am also writing the pattern. Both will be available in the web store, and in my store in manhattan.

SWITCHUPABLES

I LOVE MAKING AND USING PATTERNS THAT CAN BE SWITCHED UP. I USED THE OVERSIZED TOTE PATTERN TO MAKE THIS BAG, AND I USED THE POPPIES GALORE AND FLEUR GALORE PATTERNS TO MAKE SWITCHABLE EMBELLISHMENTS. A LITTLE TRICK THAT I USE, IS TO SEW BUTTONS ON THE BACK OF THE EMBELLISHMENTS THAT I'M GOING TO USE ON CROCHET ITEMS. THEN, THE EMBELLISHMENT JUST BUTTONS ON AND OFF. SWEET!!!

IN THE PINK

I made this clutch a while back, using the summer blush clutch pattern that I have up on my website. I'd forgotten all about it until a lovely crafter in Italy, named Aparecida, made an adorable clutch in the most loveley shades of blue and green. She inspired me to get out my pink clutch, dust it off, find something to pair it with, and put it to use.

Thanks Aparecida!!!
