Crochet Loveliness

I have recently rediscovered the amazingness of crochet.

I was taught crocheting as a little girl in school and did it back then because I had to. But on my last trip back home, I asked my mum to refresh my mind on the basics and boy, am I hooked on this thing!!

Far from being dated, crochet can be used to create some really cool and trendy pieces for the home, jewelry and fashion.

So...browsing through Flickr's Explore, I came upon this gorgeous photo....



....and my mouth instantly started watering!

The image and crochet-loveliness creations belong to Edinburgh-based designer Emma Lamb.

Go have a look at her creations; and if you fall in love with something...she's got an etsy shop!

Gig Posters

I didn't know who Ray Lamontagne was until I saw this poster at Poster Cabaret. But I LOVED it so much, that I had to go and look him up on youtube...and would you look at that, the singer is just as cool as the artwork advertising him!!




Poster Cabaret is a really cool site that sells prints, mainly from music gigs.

Here is some more cool art they've got for sale at their site:










These would look great on any wall...whether you like the music or not! Better if you do, but still....
