fresh off the hook!

I'd like to share a new piece that I finished over the weekend (you may remember catching a peek of it here).

This is a great reproduction portrait that I found at a secondhand store and just couldn't resist.

I crocheted the tiny embellishments with DMC Perle Cotton in some of my favorite colors (DMC has the most gorgeous selection!) and also added pieces from an antique lace collar.

I'm so pleased with the way it turned out, and even more pleased that it has already found a lovely new home (shipped out yesterday!).

Today I am finishing a few more orders for the shop, then hoping to do some organizing and some much needed yoga (I neeeeed to stretch!).
