DRAPE ART ON A COUCH! A GREAT WAY TO ADD COLOR!
As you know, this blog is about “dressing” your home. It’s not enough to just have a house, you make it a home when you add the special touches that add beauty and comfort and make life worth living. This next few weeks, I’m going to be talking about using handmade art items and accessories which are artistic and beautiful.
As mentioned in Better Homes & Gardens, Crickets’ Creations is a place where you can find handmade fine knitted items known as “Art Knit”. Shown here is a gorgeous luxury throw, hand-knitted in a wonderful cream with gorgeous art fringe edges. The artist, Celeste, makes these throws to order. Her on-line shop is Cricket’s Creations. The term “Art Knit” is familiar to top designers and decorators who eagerly search for these one-of-a-kind treasures.
So when you want to brighten up a room, consider buying an accessory that is hand-made, artistic and an investment in beauty.

Thank you so much for featuring one of the luxury, handmade throws I designed and created! My favorite part (aside from playing with all the glorious colors in the fringe) is imagining my work being used by families and their guests.
For this piece, I kept envisioning it being used in a lodge, resort, cabin or Southwestern, adobe home (these high desert nights where I live near the Grand Canyon get chilly)! It would look beautiful in a naturally themed home, with tile, slate, hardwood, stone, etc.
Thank you again, Bev, for shining the spotlight on my home decor, handcrafted throw blankets!
