Сrochet scarf

I'm a crochet addicted lately and so, as I'm a beginner, every new project is a challenge for me!
When I saw this amazing bamboo yarn I immediately decided that I have to make a scarf for my self! Two scarves! About the second I will write later.
In Saint-Petersburg I had a lot of time that I dedicated to crochet these scarves.
I wrote here about first granny squares I made. So today I present this scarf ready. 
It's the long cowl. I really like how It can be worn in multiple ways to fit the personality!
This color combination of grey, white and vivid green is so attractive. 
The beautiful spring green color radiates positive energy and makes me feel happy.
I can't wait to wear it!

Crochet flowers

I write again about my new passion - crochet! The next step is making crochet flowers. I will use it to decorate my jewelry. I found tutorials in Internet and I made first crochet flowers: one small grey and two red. 

Crochet flower can be used to decorate not only necklaces, but also hats, scarves, bags and clothing. Great idea is to use crochet flowers in interior design. Your home will be charged of brightly summer colors, that will always bloom! At home you can use crochet flowers to decorate pillows, curtains, bedcover and of course for the table.

Or maybe you just have to cut the monthly money for shopping and you do not want someone notice it. In such cases shoe clips come to help you! They turn even the usual ballerine into exquisite evening shoes. In the morning after a fun party, you can remove shoe clips, and your casual shoes are with you again!
Shoe clips you may wear as a brooch, or as a clothing accessory. Deep red color goes well not only with the red shoes, but with shoes in shades of gray and black.

Bracelet today is one of the most important and popular types of jewelry. Not many people know that the first bracelets have been around since the Stone Age and were made of mammoth tusks. In those days they were not for adornment, but an amulet for protection against disease and evil spirits. Later bracelets were made of metal: copper and bronze, gold and silver. They were not just decoration, but indicator of wealth. They wore bracelets on both hands, and feet. The modern fashion offer many types of bracelets: made from metal, leather, wood, cloth and plastic.
