Crochet

Doilies, doilies, doilies… Grand-grand mother used to crochet doilies in the past, when women used to stay at home, with no other jobs. Now, women are employed, they work hard and when they come home, they change their jobs into housekeepers, mothers, sisters and so on. Therefore, doilies seems to be useless in a house, unless you want to have a vintage look in your cottage.

But the Internet is full of crochet patterns for doilies. What to do with a doily? Well, use it for your times. Make a purse, a bag, a top, whatever you like to wear.

Here is an idea how to transform a doily into a bag. You have the pattern, you have a crochet, you have imagination. The rest is history.

Women all over the world, do something for you. Be independent. Be free. Be creative. Be youselves.

Crochet Turcoise Top Unique

“I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire”

Crochet Geek as I am, I had an idea: to crochet a top with round patterns. So I begun first with some circles and put them on a piece of cloth in order to know how to continue. And I kept on going. And I obtained this marvelous piece of top which I like so much. I ended the piece of art with the technique of granny squares links. As edgings I used picots. The pattern is simply as I used the V stitch (one double crochet, one chain, one double cochet).

Crochet with imagination and passion. Stay alive and optimistic. This life is so beautiful and whatever you think and create can be shared with others. The beauty of this art (so to call it) is without limits.

Women all over the world, do something for you. Be independent. Be free. Be creative. Be youselves.

Accesorii croşetate pentru coc

M-am hotărât să fac mai multe accesorii pentru coc, pe care le puteţi croşeta cu modelul Irish Crochet (adică cu picou între ochiurile de lanţ), care arată foarte elegant în orice situaţie. Ele încep din mijloc şi se lucrează circular. Aceste accesorii pot fi folosite la balerine, la şcoală de către fetiţe, precum şi de femei de toate vârstele, pentru aranjarea rapidă a părului.

Accesoriile sunt făcute din aţă poliester care se găseşte în comerţ, bobinele româneşti costă 1,5 RON iar cele importate din Turcia, o idee mai groase dar cu un luciu deosebit, costă la merceriile din Bucur Obor între 2,5 şi 3 RON. Se lucrează cu croşetă subţire. Eu am pus aţa românească în două adică, pentru a da impresia de degrade, am asortat o bobină de culoare închisă cu una albă sau bleu pal, în funcţie de combinaţie. Bobinele turceşti pot fi folosite şi într-o singură aţă, aceasta fiind o idee mai groasă şi foarte bine mercerizată.

Florile au fost făcute separat şi ataşate apoi cu pistol de lipit cu bare de silicon. Acelaşi procedeu s-a aplicat şi la bobiţele din vârful florilor.

Iată de a ieşit.

“Om Namah Shivaya” Mantra

This mantra is a tribute to Shiva (Mahadeva), the Supreme Destroyer. This mantra is one of the most popular Hindu mantra and the most important in Shaivism.

NA means the three-eyed one

MA is the world

SI stands for Shiva

VA is His revealing grace

YA is the soul

The five elements, too, are embodied in this ancient formula for invocation. NA is earth, MA is water, SI is fire, VA is air, and YA is ether, or Akasa. Click the image below.

Namah Shivaya has such power that the mere intonation of these syllables reaps its own reward in salvaging the soul from bondage of the treacherous instinctive mind and the steel bands of a perfected externalized intellect.

Namah Shivaya quells the instinct, cuts through the steel bands and turns this intellect within and on itself, to face itself and see its ignoance. Click the image below.

Sages declares that mantra is life, that mantra is action, that mantra is love and that the repetition of mantra, japa, bursts forth wisdom from within.

“Om Namo Narayanaya” Mantra

This mantra represents a tribute to Lord Vishnu (Narayana), the Supreme God, in his infinite all pervading form.

Bhagavata Purana declares Narayana as Para Brahman (Supreme Lord) who creates unlimited universes and enters each one of them as Lord of Universe.

This mantra of Vishnu (also known as Narayana) is chanted to invoke His all pervading powers of mercty and goodness. It is through His grace that righteousness is able to prevail.

Repetition of this mantra confers infinite love, prosperity, power, glory, wisdom, and total liberation. It gives the ability to dissolve obstacles resulting from egoism and ignorance. It is a mantra of peace, bringing balance to an off-centered world. Click the image below.

“Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha” Mantra

Tribute to Lord Ganesha (Ganapathy), this mantra is an embodiment of wisdom and bliss.

Ganesha is Vighneshvara, the Lord of Obstacles, both of a material and spiritual order. He is regarded as a remover of obstacles, though traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to be checked. Click the image below.

Lord Ganesha represents OM or the Pranava. That is why all mantras start with OM, a tribute to the Lord of new beginnings. Chant this when starting a new task to ensure that it is free of any hindrances. Click the image below.

Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha, this mantra is said to destroy karmas that obstruct any task from getting accomplished. Whenever things don’t seem to be moving forward or there is no progress in spite of best effort, simply chant this mantra and bust all the obstructions in your path. Click the images below.
