and now for the last Christmas color: GREEN

I made my own treasury again since it is so hard to find room on etsy.It makes me remember the story of Jesus when He was born and their parents could not find room in a regular inn so they ended up in a manger.Sometimes we are so busy that He can't find room in our schedules either.
I put together my collection of favorites and best seller for you to enjoy in the color of today for organics and not so :Green.
Here featured are some products from the one a day challenge team( a group of ladies that formed to take on Bittersweets challenge to create on item a day. The challenge began in April for a month. After the challenge, we liked each other so much that we kept on) and daintycrochetbyaly. Enjoy!!

We were at the Front Page of etsy today

Aly's creation was featured this morning about 11 am at the Frnt Page of etsy. This is how she describes the romantic and more than original collar:

This collar is a collaboration project with norakaren.etsy.com

The peacock has been handpainted by her on denim Fabric and I had designed the collar with denim and crocheted lace to be the perfect accesory to go with jeans and a simple top.

The colors are just exciting and striking... greens, and blues, the lace is royal blue.

Good job Aly and cheers! for more to come.

Show me your feathers

The creative flow never ends. I woke up this gorgeous saturday morning to the fact that Aly projected her signature crochet on a hand painted piece of denim. Some people never stops. And that overwhelms me,but in a good way. She put together a painted denim patch showcasing my famous peacock with her stunning blue waves and threads to create a collar wearable over a tank top and make it shine!
Thanks Aly,you amaze me!

New canvas art

I have hand painted this stunning peacock on an ivory canvas Tote. The hand screening was first in black ink and then I painted all the details by hand in blue sparkly,green turquoise ,light blue silver sparkly, gold in the centers,details and even for the crown. This tote bag is a really great size and super stylish for any place to go: from the beach to a night out!It is a lovely brand new bag made out of a Heavy Duty Canvas material with the Most Gorgeous Sparkley Fabric Paint.I really hope you enjoy it! Please note: All my pieces are one of a kind individually painted. It is a very nice bag that measures approximately 18 1/2 inches tall (from the top of the handles to the bottom of the tote--the body of the purse is 13 inches tall) and 13 inches wide. If you want enjoy too any other of the 3 color options.

Aly's Creation Feather based

Aly Hymel finished her necklace.She is a wonderful artist who displays her crafty imagination on crochet necklaces. Last week she requested some hand painted peacock feathers from me to create new additions to her shop. When she finished it she wrote me back an e-mail saying this: it was great to work with your art, look what I did !! Thanks for sharing your art with me, thanks for inspiring me to create this piece and thanks for being FDL team member!!!

and she added:
One of the trends this year has been feathers, they have inspired me to create several pieces of jewelry, but using what I love, crochet!
When I saw Nora's art I had this idea in my mind that somehow I could combine my crochet with her art , peacock is such a beautiful bird and it means so many great things in different cultures around the world, that reading about it, just made my imagination fly... after feeling the inspiration, this one is the is the result....!

Thanks Aly for all the compliments and I wish you all the best luck and sales with your new merchandise....And with all of you, wonderful bloggers, I share her inspiration and creativity
Cheers
