Shabby Chic Doilies and Placemats

While being very busy with my little baby boy, I have been hard at work crocheting some custom items. Although it's a little difficult to combine work and mommyhood, I think we are getting the hang of it.

After the holidays I was happy to get back to work, and boy I have been busy. I have photographed some of the finished items. Here are a few of them:

10" Doily to match my best selling coaster set pictured here in off white 100% cotton.

16.5" white placemats. I offer the same in my shop in a smaller size, find them here.

I'm still working on some colorful coasters and baskets. I'll post photos as they are finished. Now I have to get back to work before the baby wakes up.

Thanks for visiting!

Tea parties and chocolate chip cookies

I have been very busy getting to know my little baby boy who arrived on November 15th, but not too busy to work on these pink placemats for a customer in Australia. I used my Alicia pattern in them and crocheted them in country pink cotton. They are perfect for a springtime tea party with some homemade chocolate chip cookies ( I don't know how I had time to make them ).

I am really hoping my customer will like the placemats. I plan to make them available in my shop in off white as soon as I'll have some time to make them and take some photos. But right now my little Hugo is a priority :)

I have used my Marimekko cups in Maalaisruusu-pattern and some Marimekko napkins as props in the photos. Aren't they perfect with the pink?!

Flower petals and rose cups

I have been working on a crochet rug with flower petals and it has been taking me a long time. The rug is still not finished, but I fell in love the look of the flower petals that I decided to try to use them differently.

I wanted to make placemat and coaster sets with a flower petal edging. It proved to be a real neat detail in my otherwise very simple placemats and coasters. The sets were a lot of fun to crochet and I think they turned out gorgeous. They bring a little bit of romance to my dining table, the rose cup setting might help a bit too. 

You can find both of the sets at my etsy shop Henna's Boutique. 

New 15.5" Placemats in Bright Navy

New custom order has just been finished. I have been working hard on these gorgeous placemats. I used the same pattern that I use for the placemats in my boutique in white and in avocado green, but these were made bigger. They measure 15.5" / 40cm in diameter.

The placemats are 100% cotton and the color is this beautiful bright navy that I just adore. The set of 6 of these placemats will be shortly traveling to my customer in California, and I really hope she will love these as well :)
