This was the special projects I was talking about - these are doilies and coasters and of various sizes and shapes with fabric and fine hand embroidery. It had crocheted edging.
This was a gift for a very good friend who really appreciates and values handmade things.I'm not going to make this a huge picture heavy post so I've just put up a few pictures only and a picture with all 12 pieces.
These were fun to make. And my friend loved them.
As of now, I'm working on various small projects and working towards making stuff for the craft fair. It'll be my first one and I'm all excited. Hardly any time left to go and so many ideas and so many things to make. I'm making stuff with all of my original designs and so enjoying it. I hope I end up selling at least a bit:).Wish me luck !

Yasmin...wishing you all good luck for the fair. I used to go for this fair when we were in Dubai ( not to sell, just to see). This time i got their mail and i'm going to miss it and I'm very sad. I heard that something similar is coming up here in November. Looking forward to see that.
Your Doilie and coasters are fabulous....keep up the good work.
Wow !!!They are Beautiful!!!
Sending you all the luck in the world for the Craft fair girl.I'm sure you'll sell out!
Thankyou Nima. I hope you have something similar out there too. Do check out the November event - you might enjoy it - I hope so.
Hey Pearlin, Thank you. I need all the best wishes I can get ..lol! Actually I can imagine getting all sold out ...coz I don't have many things , hardly 12 peices so far. Hopefully, I can get at least a couple of stuff sold.
They are so pretty and look very special, Yasmin!
Good luck on the craft fair :)

Thanks V jr. That is a fine kind of embroidery done on clear mesh material and the background is made of silk. I forget what this kind of embroidery is called ...all I know is that it's a French style...and very fine work - enough to drive the eyes nuts! Thank you for the well wishes.
