Crochet With Textiles

After making far too many of the plant hangers, I still wasn't ready to give up on crocheting with reclaimed textiles. This woven cotton with indigo print was nice to work with.

I used it to crochet this sort of freeform pod.

It reminded me of some bells that I have that came from Africa.

So, I added some small brass bells to crocheted textile chains and the pod became a bell.

 

 Another one of my no reason or purpose creations.

BLUE

Blue is such a calming color.

I love this little trinket jar.

It was made by my stepdaughter Anita as a gift to my husband.

Great job Anita!

We love it!

I picked up this lovely blue woven textile piece at a thrift shop in Maine last year.

It's old, has great texture, and I love this shade of blue.

Blue denim will always be one of my favorite things.

I've started a crazy quilt made from some reclaimed jeans.

And practice samples for some textile jewelry.

How do you fight off the winter blues?

Keeping busy with creative projects works for me.

Thanks for stopping by!
