Yesterday a customer asked me if I could crochet orange poppies garland. Of course, I could. However, I decided to check what colours poppies can be. I was shocked: in nature, poppies can be white (Islandic poppies), yellow, orange, red, and purple. I think it’s worth crocheting the garland in each colour so my customer could choose the bunting by their preferences and home decor.
I found out from my competitors that they often take photos of crochet collars on dressed mannequins. I decided to try too. It turned out that I hardly have any dresses because I wear jeans all the time. I guess it was time to do some shopping. But for now, my mannequin is dressed, and a new lace collar has its photos.

When a customer buys a garland, I try to crochet it as fast as I could. The processing time of an item isn’t long at CrochetCabinetCrafts – from 3 to 5 working days. When a customer buys two garlands, I get panicky. My last order was Poppies and Sunflowers garlands that require a lot of time to crochet. Today I can breathe a sigh of relief – new Poppies garland is ready, and almost all flowers for Sunflower bunting are ready. The working process is here:
My baby blanket for little Zuzanna is slowly getting bigger and I love it!
Because my main customers are from the USA and that delivery times before Christmas are doubling if not tripling, I decided to run a Christmas campaign in July. The first item I listed in the shop was a garland of multicoloured stars in the typical Christmas colours of dark green, red and white. The stars bunting made up of 14 stars with string, crocheted from 100% mercerized cotton yarn. The garland is perfect for home decoration all year round, especially on Christmas and New Year celebrations. You can use it in a baby room, kid’s room, bedroom, living room, fireplace, on the wall, as a Christmas table or Christmas tree decoration, for wedding decor or party decor also. The garland is 180 cm (70,8 inches) long, and a single star is 6,5 cm (2,5″) in diameter. There are small loops on the ends of the garland. If you like this idea but in a different length or colour scheme, drop us a message, and we’ll be happy to crochet it for you.
I am trying to be as eco friendly as possible. Two of my garlands – sunflowers and poppies from CrochetCabinetcrafts – were dispatched today morning to The Netherlands. I hope the seller will be happy with them and can decorate her retro vans into Bohemian style as she wrote me. It’s time to start the summer holiday!

When I crocheted this collar, I wasn’t quite sure I’d chosen the right colour thread. But when I finished it and framed it with a darker ribbon, I was pleased with my choice. The collar looks very stylish and elegant. It can adorn any outfit, especially if a pale blue is your colour.
Some years ago, I was visiting St Andrews in Scotland. It is one of the loveliest towns for me till now. We were walking with my daughter at the seashore, talking and enjoying each other. We were tasting scones and taking multum photos when we noticed a small shop with different things, mostly vintage. And that’s where we found this wonderful calendar, “The Floral Birthday Book”: Flowers and their Emblems, with Appropriate selections from the poets with 368 illustrations engraved and printed in colours by Edmund Evans. I am getting ready to write a separate post about this book and show you examples of flowers and poetry, but for now, I’d like to present to you my yesterday crocheting – thin sprigs of lavender.
