Two custom made doily rugs done!

Again I have been very busy crocheting away. I just have to say that I love making these doily rugs! I have custom made these two colorful doily rugs for a wonderful lady in Australia. Aren't they just colorful and go so nicely together!

The aqua rug is made with my Alicia pattern. Finished size is 33" / 85cm.

The plum rug is crocheted using my Isabella pattern. It's size is 25" / 65cm.

Enjoy!

Sara rugs in multiples, crochet storage bins and coasters :)

I have been working long hours on a custom order that will be soon shipping out to Australia. It contains multiple Sara doily rugs from my Etsy Shop. I took some photos today using 4 to 2 Sara rugs and also my crocheted storage bins. Here are some photos to enjoy :)

Some close ups of the crocheted storage bins.

In the photos below I used a hand painted soap dispenser I have gotten as a gift from my oldest and best friend. Isn't it lovely :)

Freshly Finished: Oval Crocheted Doily Rug

Here are some photos of my freshly finished new oval doily rug. It's size is 50" x 36" (128cm x 92cm). I used my Alicia rug pattern in the rug.

My Two Doily Coaster Sets Were Featured!

When a local Knoxville, Tennessee event planner Mayra from In Flight contacted me through Etsy I was thrilled. She wanted to feature two sets of my crocheted doily coasters in her upcoming Valentine's Day shoot, and could not have been happier! The photos are now up. I have posted some of the photos from her blog here that feature my coasters and I urge all of you to go and take a look at all of the photos and the great ideas here. Everything looks so delicious and I am sure you will be able to pick up a couple of great ideas for your Valentine's Day celebration :)

Thank you so much Mayra!

Custom Handmade Crochet Doily Rug in Grass Green

Today I worked on a custom doily rug for a US customer. The middle part of the rug is the same as in my ALICIA doily rug. I custom created a different edging to the rug. I think I will be making a rug with this edging also to my shop. I love it's look.

This doily rug is crocheted out of 100% grass green cotton. The final size of the rug is 27.5" / 69cm.

In the photos I used two of my handmade stuffed animals I made last year. The poor animals still don't have permanent eyes, but the pins do a good job for now :)

Custom Crocheted Doily Rug and Crocheted Pouf

This year I have been blessed with many custom orders. I am very busy, but loving every minute of it. Being busy keeps me from completing my new items that I have not yet had a chance to take photos of, but soon I will be introducing them at my etsy shop :)

I have just completed a stone wash colored crocheted doily rug that was shipped today to Australia. The completed size is 54" (137cm).  The rug is crocheted out of cotton yarn, I used the yarn triple to make it strong and thick.

Another custom item I finished was a floor pouf / pillow. I crocheted it from cotton yarn and made a lining from cotton fabric. . It's  filled with polyester fill. The pouf's size is 5.5" x 7.5" (14cm x 19cm). I turned out really cute, I will have to make some more soon and in different sizes.

I am now looking forward to tackling the next custom doily rugs in grass green, plum and robin egg! I can't wait to post photos when they are finished.
