Passion not one

Those of you who know me know as well that beside jewellery I have another passion - well, not one, but one of many - and it's crochet. Recently I've been neglecting a bit the stones and silver in my studio and concentrated on some crochet project for my boy, for frien's boy, and for myself too. I enjoyed it so much that the moment I'd finish one I'd start a new one right away. And you'd be right to think that there is already a new project in the making, just started :D
Here are photos of what I've made in the last six months.
New jewellery projects are ligned up too... and the skincare home study is waiting to be completed. Am I busy or what?

Last minute pin

Remember that super soft and light vest I was working on in the last few days? I managed to finish it just in time to wear it today at the International Women's Day in Merkinch Community Centre. The vest was  ready only yesterday before midnight when I realised I needed a brooch or a pin to wear it with. So, I dug through my gem stash and found this beautifully leaf-shaped Carnelian bead, just right in size and colour! It was already late and I was in a bit of a hurry still packing my jewellery for the event so... 20cm of Sterling Silver wire and 10 minutes later the pin was ready, oxidised and buffed. And it looked great today :)

Two projects

This week I've been busy with two wearable crochet projects. One I'm making for myself: it will be a new vest made in the softest and lightest kid mohair you can imagine. The other one will be a bracelet and it's made in Fine Silver. I'm only not sure what gems I'll add to it. 

I like the difference in sizes between my two crochet hooks :)
