Macrame Bracelet

Hi All, I tried my hand at a new craft, 'Macrame'. Well, I could've bought better beads (matching this thread), or used some other thread, matching these beads, or any other I had. But, well, here is what I did. I'm not too happy with the bead-thread combo. I feel that I should've done it after selecting the beads and thread, taking more time. But I had guests over the weekend, staying over, and had a strict "no" from hubby to crafts, while they were here. So, had to do it in the very little time I got when everyone slept in the afternoon. :(

Anyways, this is what I made! The tutorial is here

Rug / Mat from Rags

Hi All, today I've got something else, a new trial. :) There was this bed sheet I had been using during my boarding and hostel days. It was so old that one day it tore in the middle. Though it was so old, and torn, and of no use to me (or so I thought), I didn't feel like throwing it away, as I had so many nice memories linked with it. So, I'd kept it along with the other bed sheets. Then I came across this tutorial, and immediately thought of this old bed sheet. And here it is, in the new form. :)

Mauve-White Doily

Hi All, I've completed one more doily, and this is also done with Anchor Pearl cotton #8 thread. And used the .85 steel hook. The patters is here. Without much talking, here is the picture. :)
