I am a designer and a finder. I crochet, knit, sew, make jewelry & dabble in just about every craft known to man. I love to find objects to revamp and vintage treasures at Goodwill, garage sales,estate sales, flea markets, etc. What do I do with the things I find, make or repurpose? Well, I either sell them, give them as gifts, use them to decorate my home or I wear them.

Vintage crochet
I love vintage crochet instruction booklets as well as vintage crocheted pieces especially the lacy ones. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Phoebe has one piece that she is obsessed with. No matter where I move it, she gets a hold of it. Here she is trying to hang on to it..

About Me
- Lisa Lian
- Thanks for checking out my blog. I have been crocheting and sewing for about 45 years. I learned from my grandmother and in 4-H. I started taking knitting classes about 5 years ago and I am obsessed with knitting. I am a self-taught jewelry maker. I also dabble in polymer clay and just about every other craft known to man. I love to go to garage sales, estate sales, flea markets and Goodwill. I love to take old things and revamp them in to something pretty or useful. I love to reuse old sweaters and clothing for the fabric, old jewelry and old home decor items. I like the idea of recycling and I also like to be able to make nice items without spending a lot on supplies. This, as well as being a pro bargain finder, helps me to keep my prices low. I am happy to take requests for special items You can find my items at lisalian.etsy.com.
