Some new(ish) products that I've been working on...

While most of my new work has been - surprise! - baby related, not all of it is.  One of the new additions to the Bohemian Pearl collection is the crocheted coaster.  They're made from 100% fine merino wool and backed with felt which has been attached with hand-stitching.  My followers will know how much I love to incorporate recycled materials into my work...the button and ribbon are examples of that.  The buttons were a great score from my local charity shop (a bargain at 3p each!) and I have no idea where the ribbon came from, but I just love it!

The crocheted coaster was inspired by the vintage bunting you see here.  I came up with the idea for the bunting when wanting to create something special for my daughter's nursery.  I just couldn't shake the idea of yarn pom-poms - remember those?  Anyway, I abhorred the idea of spending so much time (and wool!) wrapping and wrapping and wrapping just to have it go wrong when I had a lightbulb moment - why not crochet yarn circles instead!  I love how it's a unique take on bunting, which is so popular right now.  I just love it!  And the best part - the bunting looks great in adult bedrooms, too!

I'm a bit late in getting this one up with winter is behind us.  But then today when the temperature plummeted and I was shocked in having to turn the heat on, I thought to myself, 'you can never put your wooly hats away in England!'  This is a my daughter wearing the beanie I made for her out of merino wool, which I think is just stinkin' cute!  I make them in adult-sizes too and while they are cool, I don't know if they're quite as cute as this!
