Just a little oya doily!

I was mucking around with some stitches and stuff seeing if I could make a small doily- And I did!  It was pretty easy actually and its pretty cute too!

                                                

New bits!

So its been like a month since I've done any blogging, etsy-ing, facebooking or anything.  I've just been really really busy- but I see I've gathered a few more minions, and had outstanding hits on my tutorials.  So well done to me.  I haven't been making much since I've been so busy, but I did make a tatted doily, which is small but I'm really happy with it.  I found the pattern online and decided to give it a go, and I only made one mistake which you cant notice anyway so I'm very happy with myself.  I also made some other thingies for etsy which I hope you guys will like...look below for photos and descriptions!

My tatted doily with variegated thread.

Lilac coloured foulard/cravat/neckscarf with lilac and yellow oya

I really like how the yellow brings out the purple

This is what I call a "fake" doily..the picture below shows why haha,
this is Oya with a crocheted centre with gold thread, and then white nylon thread.

In Turkey these are called vitrin takimi but usually have 4 motifs at the top, I just made mine with 3 and I
think it looks great under this picture of a whirling dervish I have.

So I hope you'll all go check out my etsy page and my facebook page- maybe you can even like me!

Apologies...

Loyal followers and lurkers of my blog I wish to apologize for not blogging for a while, I've been extremely busy and grandmas been sick so I've been there and by the time I get home I'm too busy to do anything...Luckily for me I take my work with me!

So I've been lacing it up for the past couple of weeks, even though I was supposed to be making an oya scarf for my partners mother on the 22nd of this month (I still have time) but I'm waiting for my shipment of threads to come as I've picked the scarf but dont have the thread colours for it.

About my laceworks:  I made the tablecloth and runner while I was at my grandmothers.  I used Oren bayan thread.  The 3 doilies are knitted and made by my grandmother from around 30 years ago (I found them while I was cleaning out all of her old clothes shoved at the back of a cupboard) and she gladly gave them to me.  Theres 2 oya lace pieces down the bottom left hand corner, one is a motif doily that still needs 3 more motifs to be completed- its a mixture of crochet and Igne oyasi which is totally beautiful, and the other one is a WIP (work in progress) where I'm just playing around with some stitch ideas.  Both are made with Nylon thread.

Its been really weird weather here in Melbourne the past week- I think thats why my neighbours have both gone mental..  That story is for another blog post lol.

I promise not to neglect any of you reading this blog again, but sometimes life throws things your way and you dont have time to take photos, sit down and write. 

Cheers xx

Crochet Doily Patterns!!

These are some patterns of doilies and whatnot that I'm contributing to all of you, some of these I've made and some I haven't.  I hope to update this section regularly.  I'm an avid fan of doilies and think they add just that little touch of cosy-ness to any house!
