More beautiful girls - one original design

I finished this beauty from a pattern I found at BraceletBook.com here

This crying girl kiss pattern was also found at BraceletBook.com - here

This red headed beauty was a pattern created by me from artwork found on the net. I make no claims to the ownership of this design. I only converted the image so that I could knot her up.

Below is the chart I created. Please feel free to use it. I would love to see your finished work... especially if you change up the colors etc. Enjoy

Plus Size Fashions - Affordable and sometimes... Free!

The above shirt is one that I got from TwinkleDeals.com. I joined the site after my sister got me a dress there. At first, I wasn't even aware that you could earn and win free clothes. It was a bonus when I was offered the above shirt for free. I pin all of the clothes I want to buy from TwinkleDeals.com on Pinterest anyway... so why not earn clothes! I've also earned a free dress, and plan to buy from this site frequently. A few things to keep in mind about the site. Orders are coming from the Orient... so it could take a long time to get your order... but it will come. The sizes are much smaller than you would normally find. For example a 7x might only be a size 18 US. Be sure to check the measurements. Each item has measurements listed on the sale page.

I don't buy into gimmicks and promotion sites. I wasn't looking for this... it kind of found me. I am posting about it on my blog to share the love with you, and also to show off the great plus size fashions I find while shopping there.

If this offends you...

I love her. 78 strings. She is my biggest piece to date. All hand knotted using this pattern found at BraceletBook.com

Lichtenstein in knots

Here is my completed Lichtenstein pop art micro macrame piece. You can find the pattern here at bracelet-book.net

Hand Knotted Pop Art Girl

I finished knotting this female pop art piece yesterday. To date, it is my largest piece completed at 56 strings. It is big enough to be a coin purse, which I am considering, but still have lots of back-work to clean up and knot etc etc. You can get or see this pattern here at BraceletBook.com

Sugar Skull Hand Knotted micro macrame

Sugar Skull 

I finished this one. It's one of my favorites. I made a few mistakes, but that's what makes it special. It's from a pattern found here at BraceletBook.com. I changed up the colors a bit.
