Four-leaf clover for luck. I made this little clovers as a house warming gift for my friend. They are very cute and little and filled with positive thoughts and good energy and the most important: You don't have to water them :)

The whole project was inspired by this movie:

Crochet buttons

Krawka: Crochet buttons / pins/ brooshes: Two little owls 

Collection of crochet buttons. Owls, bear, zombie rabbit, pirate rabbit, my neighbor totoro, hedgehog, basically anything that came to my head before I ran out of buttons. It all started when I bought a pack of DIY buttons, they look like this:



I think the fought is to put any material You want on the front side, squeeze with the back side and voila You have Your DIY button ready.  I am not too good at following instructions so I though I would make the crochet buttons instead.... 

My favourite ones are brown bear and brown owl, weird cause I don't like the color :P I use the brown bear not as a button but as a brooch.

Cowl - winter collection

Krawka: Modern cowl collection by Krawka

Cowl collection I have made this winter for my friends and family.  As You already know I am sewing now from quite some time, my husband bought me my first sewing machine and since then I am torn between sewing, crocheting and my other activities.  I have million ideas per second and I am so proud this one - the cowl project came to life.

Cowls are made from tweed wool or cotton fabric outside and very soft fleece inside. Black border is made from vegan leather. For closing my cowls I used big buttons or snap fasteners.

The cowl is very elegant and modern looking. I am wearing one of them ( the bottom one one the upper picture is mine) and I am very pleased with it. I am wearing it on top of my black coat and it looks super elegant.

After Christmas time I made final three cowls which are now on sale in my shop. If You are interested please visit the below links. If You have any questions please contact me via etsy shop or email: krawka.blog@gmail.com
