Hand-Knitted Home

A compact 140 sq ft Gingerbread House constructed with millions of stitches is presently on its tour to UK. The house has managed to earn around $40,000 for charity. Featured above this house doesn’t look less than an installed masterpiece inviting eyeballs and the credit for this goes to its woven furniture and household goods viz. bed, dresser, chairs, pictures and tables.

Going beyond your wild imagination, the stove and breakfast in the scorching pan are also hand-knitted followed by household eatables like sweets, cakes and biscuits. The beauty of the house resides in its magnificent garden absolute with wool flora. The house is known to be the brainchild of 45-year-old knitting aficionado Alison Murray, from Devon, who controlled the team of knitters to design this bizarre domicile.

The Gingerbread House is anticipated to reach the Aintree pavilion, at Aintree racecourse as a part of a show scheduled for 25-27 April. The idea behind the show, which is a part of a national tour, is to generate cash for Great Ormond Street hospital, in London.

Elite Handbag: Clara Kasavina Bling Bling

Clara Kasavina

The very mention of “bling bling” summons imagery of anything garish and away from the ordinary falling into the bejeweled category. Considering this, I think the tag of Bling Bling doesn’t suit to the tote featured above. Undoubtedly, it is an elite handbag clad with glittering surface inviting eyeballs.

Noticeably vintage-inspired, the material of this metal-frame tote is shaped from connected Crystals, designing an open interlace of trinkets over the hoary lining. Additional crystals spot the handle and the clutch is bejeweled with a set of large Swarovski Crystal intonation.

Dimensions: 8″ (W) X 5½” (D)
Price: $900
