z. Lessons from my first Crochet Booties
Having moved into our new home of wooden polished floors, I was eager to try out some crochet booties. I checked out patterns, instructions, YouTube videos for tutorials on how to make a boot. Ultimately the only way to get a grasp on the real how-to is just to make one.
So this here is my first ever bootie – a crochet bootie. It is what I call a working draft. Its main purpose is so that I can see and feel what the real thing looks like. Wear it, work it, and find out that way what needs to be adjusted – and then make a better one (later/one day!)

ClearlyHelena Store Reopens after Homelessness
Hi Everyone,
Just a quickie note to tell you that finally, ClearlyHelena Store has reopened.
Had to close on 23 Aug 2013 and was involved in a long process of selling and then desperately looking for a new home. Now at long last, we are almost almost settled and ready to go! A long process it has been – almost 6 months of homelessness!!!
Sorry for any inconvenience caused. There might still be a few unexpected hiccups as I am still in the midst of sorting and organising – so please be a bit indulgent for a bit longer. Many thanks!

z. Beaded Crochet Bracelets: Comfy Sparkles with Swarovski
Today I am writing up some how-to notes on the making of this collection of Beaded Crochet Bracelets or bangles. They are comfy to wear, easy to put on, and have an amazing call to elegance with the full loading of the ever glorious Swarovski crystals.
Beaded Crochet Bracelet with Swarovski (CH0297)
I call these “flat based” beaded crochet bangles because the inner side (against the skin) is made flat, without beads – to provide a comfortable easy feel to these bangles. I have used stretchy yarn (viscose) so that it is much easier to wear.
