I just love all the comments you all left on my last post.. Thank You.
Yes this is what I got up to on Friday night with friends!
As you can see from the picture at the top I have indeed been making buttons! These are a different type... terracotta clay and natural looking. I have added a little red acrylic paint here and there then varnished them. They were a little experiment to see what they come out like... I really like them. I like the robins.. so I think that I will be making more of them :)
Close up...
The other thing I just adore what I made is this...
These owls were a try and see kind of thing and I LOVE them... they are so cute.
I have LOADS more ideas and I should really start making a booklet of ideas as there are that many now!
I have no plan as such to what I make.. I just make what makes me happy!
So that is the buttons...
And I have started a little stitch too...
Something totally new, just for me! :)
Here is the start...
I am using 18 count ivory Aida with DMC 4045 variegated thread... lol any excuse to use a variegated thread! I will hopefully of finished this tomorrow... and then able to show you all.
I know a lot of you like playing along with me... so ... any suggestions as to what I am stitching? :)
I have made a lot of progress on my Round Robin stitch... hope to finish that next week and post.
Thank You all for popping in, so lovely to see you all :)
Happy smiles to you all :)

ReplyDeleteI've popped over from FNwF. The buttons are really sweet. Can't wait to see what you make with your cross stitch. I have to agree with you about the verigated thread. ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Jacqui
ReplyDeleteI found you through Butterfly Wings.
Just love the buttons - they are all great.
Lovely new start, I love variegated thread too and I also have the same pair of embroidery scissors.
Wishing you a good week x
Those buttons are so cute :)
ReplyDeleteI like excuses to use variegated thread too! Even if I'm already a slow stitcher and stitching one little X at a time seems to take foreverrrrrr haha. I love the maple leaf and gingerbread buttons!
ReplyDeleteHmm maybe you are stitching Cuba Gooding Jr?! Or is that a 't'... Cutco!?
More great buttons! And I love the pun "cute as a button" for your new start.
ReplyDeleteThe little owls look like they are wearing spectacles with the thread between their eyes!
Those bottons are so lovely
