Favorite things this week

1.  Bubble Lace Ring from Colleen Baran is a beautiful piece of work.  There’s a series of pieces she has made along these lines.

2.  Crocheted MaryJane slippers - with Daisies!  From the Portland Beanie Company.  I’ve also found a slightly different pattern for crocheted slippers over at Crochet Me called Frolicking if you feel so inspired as to make your own (no big daisies, though).

3.  Fabric on Wood Art by Shellie Mitchells via Cuteable.  I really, really, really, really love this Green Tea piece of artwork.

4.  Yoga Goat Pottery makes some incredibly beautiful hand-thrown and hand-carved porcelain, such as the pieces shown below.  I’d like a lot of it.

5.  If you’ve never used Mod Podge, you should try it. Decoupage something.  The woman who invented it decoupaged a Beetle with bedsheets.

6.  I also discovered Crochet by Faye  this week, who turns out to have created a number of the beautiful patterns I’ve seen in Interweave (the pink one on the left) and in the new book from Crochet me (the one on the right is the cover) and other magazines…
