Inspiration for our Spa Collections
As the mother of a teenage daughter it has become a special thing in our house to change the naming of her bathroom from boring old “bathroom” to “Daughter’s Spa”.
This came about as we once again sorted through tons of makeup and brushes and other toiletries that cluttered up her bathroom vanity top and clung precariously around the basin.
That she has her own tiny bathroom is in itself a blessing in our small apartment.
I am a keen believer in purging the clutter and making peace amongst the chaos.
This has been achieved in our daughter’s spa room.
I have created (am in the process of creating) several Spa Collection accessories to add to the feeling of luxury in what can often be a cluttered and frantic room.
Make a Spa Experience in your home
As you live your busy life it is important to have a sanctuary in your home.
Each spa collection will feature different patterns for crochet items that you can make. This is a process and I will get the patterns out as soon as I complete them.
As you can imagine for a creative person the mind rushes ahead but the hands follow at their own pace.
My Spa Collections and Colour
I love colour and I know it can change the way you feel and think about things.
In a way color is magic. To choose the right colour for each spa collection was hugely important to me.
There is more about using colour in crochet in a meaningful way and the meaning of colour so you can explore the colours that resonate with you.
