Crochet Mandala Doily Earrings

Back in 2018, I did this post about my mandala doily earrings. In the post, I had mentioned my doily loop earrings I had made for my then 4 year old daughter, whom loved to wear these around the house and play dress up, way back in 2011.  

I mentioned I would try and show you just how easy this are, and I am really sorry that it has taken me all these years to finally locate these photos and share.  But finally, the Big Girl Doily Earrings....

The doily earrings were made by first making a small doily, then simply crocheting a large, ear size loop to hang the doily from. You want it to fit snug, but not tight, so best to measure before fastening off, and weaving ends. 

This loop can then just be looped around a child's ear for light weight, grown up size, earring fun. 

Little ones love them!

The ones below are a little bigger than hers, as well as the larger ones are stiffened. Though, I find stiffening is not necessary with slightly smaller mandala doily earring sizes, and so, these were the ONLY pair that I ever stiffened.

Because of the small size, these are a great quick crochet gift, or last minute accessory, for grown-ups and children. 

This picture is also from 2011 😅😂 Now you know why you do not see more pictures of me... I am not as photogenic as my baby girl, even when she is being silly, Liz is adorable.

Thank you for stopping by.

Best wishes, and happy crocheting!

Llommy Fun

Llommy having some fun in the sun.

Llommy, the Llama Mama crochet plush, has been one of the cutest projects that I have done in years, and is still a favorite. 

Llommy is made using Nellas Cottage Boho Llama applique pattern, turned into a plushie.

 Follow the Llommy link to read more about how I made Llommy. 

Llommy pops her head up here and there. So say 'Hi' if you spot Llommy out and about.

Doily Rug

Crochet Doily Rugs

The always fun and useful crochet Doily RUG is a summertime favorite of mine.

Pictured above is a custom rug made based on a customers ideas, along with the a Willow blanket for her beautiful nursery. Photo courtesy of the customer.  

Below and front is a rope rug made with Creative Jewish Mom's wonderful crochet rug pattern. To the back is Doily Designs Shells n Lace doily rug.

The first and original of my shells n lace doily rugs were very inspired by the beautiful design by Villa Varisksenmarja of Creative Jewish Mom.  She was among the first, that I found, to share patterns for the doily rug craze in 2011. Her beautiful design had a big influence on my desire to create and crochet in the round, as well as my Shells n Lace rug pattern.
