I'm Designing Again!

I haven't been able to do a lot of crochet recently, and frankly, I find it depressing. I needed a little project, something I could do quickly, in one 'sitting' so to speak. A little instant gratification, if you will.

Then I remembered reading a post from one of my favorite bloggers who wrote about getting her hair cut, and how she'd like to try designing/crocheting a fascinator to wear. She shared some beautiful photo's to go with this post, and I found it inspiring. You can read that post here.

So this morning I picked up my hook and yarn, and started working on a fascinator of my own. And yes, you betcha' I'll wear it! I've finished two elements of my fascinator already, and am at decision stage now, should I use one of those big, rhinestone buttons as the center, or should I crochet a centerpiece. I know I definitely want to incorporate some birdcage veil in my fascinator, I'm not sure where to find some in my area.

That's where I'm at right now. I'll post some photo's when I get a little farther along. What's on your hook today?

happy crocheting....I hope it lifts yours spirits some...when you slump, you slump...you'll come out of it..and the hook will be flying...

Can't wait to see your creation. I'm sure it will be wonderful. I'm still working away on my baby boy blanket with some time now and then for cross stitching. Thank you for such wonderful comments on my blog. I feel the same about visiting here, always look forward to it and seeing your amazing work, whether it be crocheting or art. Blessings to your evening.

I can't wait to see your fascinator! :D I am glad you feel inspired to make something so fun; I think fascinators should still be the fashion, they are so pretty and flattering! Have fun!
