.
Lacy Swing top Made with Omega (of course!) the yarn is BeBeTamm A fine weight yarn works up great. I started working on this during our trio to Myrtle Beach in January. It has ben washed and dried at least 15 times. Lately my yarn of choice seems to be Omega. If it is not in stock Mona will special order at no additional charge . She is like having a very good friend in high places . I have received so many complimets lately but, really is has all the world to do with the qualitity of the yarn or thread I have used.

My newest design. I sewed the dress and then I designed this shawl type of collar. For the first time in my life I paid $38.00 a skein for the yarn. It is Tilli Tomas Disco lites. The silk yarn has matching sequins woven into theproduct. I have never worked with such an easy yarn. I worn this gown to a Dinner Dance. The compliments were amazing. It took 2 skeins, but it was well worth the money. For the first time I combined my sewing skills with my crocheting.

Madewith Omega Yarn It is called Bebe Seda It is wonderful better than the Bamboo I have tried. Shiny and silky It does not shred. I just loved working with it. The Shell is a combination of a very simple Doris Chan with a Marryjean "twist" for the border. I used basic pink, blue maize and ivory colors normally used for babies and youngsters. I wanted to show that the colors can be usd in Higher adult fashion with success. I love the result What do you think?

It has a dark green quilted lining with seven pockets, I carry alot of junk, My honey thinks I should try to sell these on ebay. But as soon as I make one a family member wants it.

This is the bottom of the purse. I crochet in rounds connecting each round as i went along. Do not spiral. I am planning to encase a spherical piece of plastic in the lining of the base. That should help the purse to retainer its shape and hold weight.
