Crochet & Fimo Clay Necklace by Lelo Juweeltjes
Lelo’s blog is one of my new favorites.
Her style is ‘right-on’: contemporary but casual; whimsical but practical.
Last week she shared a wonderful crochet bag (complete with a howto) and now she’s showcasing her latest necklace. Truly a ‘juweeltje’ which means ‘a darling piece of jewelry’ in Dutch. Go check out both at her blog.

White Wooden Wreath Wall-art by Little Miss Maggie
Little Miss Maggie is actually rather Maxi. In style that is. Here she features how she spruces up two abominable cabinet doors in romantic artwork. Another real inspirational blog, with tips and sources.

Piano Bench Re-upholstery by Bleak 2 Unique
The best of this bench is actually on the inside! It is lined / decoupage with sheet music for lovely songs. Painted white, this bench will fit anywhere in the home.

Bunny Silhouette by Fit, Crafty, Stylish an Happy
This Easter bunny makes me happy. Easy craft cutout, instant Easter decoration.
Crochet Granny Square Blanket by Phil’s Wife
What is particularly good about this granny square blanket is that you truly do not need to drag your pattern book along with you take this project on the road. You just begin and cast off when it’s the desired size. Looks good, nay?!
