Baby booties

This is a baby bootie and hat set I made for a friend. The knitting and crochet are dusty rose, white and fuzzy yarn. The applique's were stitched with 100% silk hot pink floss and 100% black cotton floss. The applique's were made separately, by me, and cut out and sewn on to the hat and booties. It also has a pink ribbon threaded around the bootie to be tightened as needed. The set will fit baby from 3 months to 1 yr. This set has sold, but I can make more!

These pieces are really special to me because they are made with quartz crystals that I dug up from Coleman's Mine in Jessieville Arkansas, just a few miles outside of Hot Springs. I have cathedral pieces, tiny points and large points. Some are very clear, In fact I have one as clear as class only is has damage to it and it is as big around as a 1/2 dollar in circumference and 1 1/2" tall, beautiful piece. I love quartz crystal because of it's healing and mystical properties. It is the most powerful multipurpose stone of all the healing stones. If you want to read more click on this link :http://www.metastones.com/crystal_stone_healing_properties.htm
I don't have enough room on here or time to really get into it but I have a library of books on precious, semi-precious, and minerals and their healing and protection meanings. I practice using Chakra as well. If you can't find what you want on the net, ask me, I should be able to answer your question or questions.
One last thing, the cleaning process of the stones I dug up is time consuming and well worth the time. As a reminder, all the stone I use in my jewelery are cleansed and charged right before shipping or given to you. I hope you all like these, more to come, I promise.
