Introduction: Crocheted Ship's Wheel Applique

About: I love to create!! When inspiration strikes me, I create original designs (mostly crochet and jewelry) that I call "Crystal's Creations" or "Crystal's Crochet Creations". But some times, when my brain is fuz…
I recently made myself a bath set (shampoo caddies, soap savers, bath puff, and back scrubber) and realized that, thanks to the brown yarn I used, some of my pieces looked like, well.... let's just say they looked like something that is MADE in the bathroom rather than something that people want to use in a bathroom.  lol. So they needed a little embellishing.  In order to keep with my nautical theme, I came up with a simple little ship's wheel applique that I sewed onto one of my shampoo caddies .
