Sugar Bag Corners

Jo has made this bag with lots of details.

The main body of the bag is lots of patch worked pieces. 

The sugar bag corners are on the outside of the bag and decorated 

with buttons.

The handles are able to move up and down with the buttons

and button holes.

I have been extolling the virtues of buttons and button holes

this month at class and lots of students are trying them for the 

first time. They are finding out how liberating it is 

to finally be able to do and make them.

Well done Jo for liberating your button holes.

I tell everyone it take a bit of practice.

Downton Abbey Inspiration

After posting about Jeanette's Downton Abbey embroidered page I decided to do some research and found a blog called LoveMegan  and the choker above is made by her. Megan's site is a beautiful one to visit and explore. So enjoy and I will see you back later to view my new posts.

Black Button Necklace

Again inspired by the Whitby visit

and the jet jewelry.

Stewart and I spent Sunday afternoon

in the caravan making a necklace similar

to the one Angie gave me.

Angie, Thank you so much.

These necklaces are not as easy to make as they look.

Lots of jewelry wire and knots in the right place!

Angie's Button Necklace

Angie dropped in on her lunch hour.

She normally comes along for some creative time,

but this lunch hour she was on a flying visit and

gave me a button necklace.

I had admired a button necklace she was wearing

and asked if she could make me a blue one.

Well, here it is.

Thank you Angie and I really love it.
