Arte de Shelley

This lace parasol is simply beautiful!! I want it...in black or purple.  I love how the blogger drew out the design after being inspired by the parasol! It's from her post : Lace Inspiration  - url included in case the link doesn't work:  http://la-belle-helene-journal.blogspot.com/2011/08/lace-inspiration.html

Crocheted Celtic Lace Scarf by Shelley Sidle-Owens

I have now re-done the Running in Circles table centerpiece & would like to share it. Once I have the pattern converted to pdf, I will update as well. In the last photo in this post, its sitting next to a Tiffany lamp....pretty cool, huh? The lamp was so incredibly heavy that I simply couldn't lift it to set it on top of the centerpiece, not to mention the fact the it would have covered up most of the Running in Circles piece! The pattern can be found on Cut Out + Keep website, it is not in pdf format. Enjoy!!

This is a beautiful pattern, I love the yarn, love the sheen, the color!! Love it.... must make this, maybe one in black too, and maybe red, or plum..... It is here: Crochet by Faye/ by Robyn Chachula

I've finished my free-form crochet table runner, or centerpiece. It's a gift for a friend, but I'm liking it so much that I'll probably do another couple and will write out a pattern for it too at some point. I want one in black and white, purple and olive , and red, black and white. This would be a great rug if you did it with wool in dark colors, or felted. So many possibilities....
