Dear all,
Hope you all are doing fine . Thanks for your wishes , I am doing fine as well . I don’t have any finished piece to show even today but I am determined to write a post . Also , I want to avoid showing up again on ‘Just Wednesday’ post only ;)
I want to keep my WIPs secret but that is taking unimaginably long duration to complete . Today, I will share some of the motifs made for embellishing my WIPs . They aren’t blocked and some (ok , many ;)) threads are left un-weaved-in on purpose .
Raj is in San Francisco for this week . He promised that he will not get me anything from there and vowed that he will never step into craft shops . But , I am sure he will do for the fear of seeing a ‘NoEntry’ board back home :) just kidding :) Last time when he got lots of things from 'Hobbycraft' store in London, he got many which were available in India. So this time he will strictly comply with the list. He is in Redwood City and will be visiting a family friend in San Jose . If anyone is aware about good craft shops in these two places , let me know . I will try to google as well .
These are few items I crocheted ...
Actually, mine turned out to be a trapezium which I would have corrected easily but I wanted that shape only to be used as a pocket :)
Some more stash that arrived today.......actually, I ran out of orange knitting cotton .......don't know how come I received these many ;) he....he....
Thanks for seeing !! Please do write in , it makes me happy even if my itty bitty motifs are not big projects .
Any guesses for that 'sneak peek' project ?
Have a nice day !!
Preeti :)

Some more tiny flowers and leaves. The tinier ones are 1 cm and crocheted with size 20 thread

All these motifs go into these boxes I bought few months back . My bed is always cluttered during the day with my projects . I keep all my projects in separate zip folders and have bought so many of these. Lets have a sneak peek inside this folder......one of my WIPs......... :)))
Does it look gorgeous ? I have not used any flash , the yarn type is shiny and silky
