...french knots

These are my buttons for the embroidered button swap organized by Michelle over at Greetingarts. If you haven't visited her blog yet, do yourself a favor and hop on over there.

Now you know why I haven't posted anything crafty for days...

I'm so old...

I'm finally cleaning out the loft in our garage after more than four years in this house. We still have many, many unpacked boxes from our previous house, as well as those boxes that move from house to house and never get opened. I'm opening them all and rediscovering things from long, long ago.

Does anyone remember candlewick embroidery? This is at least 15-20 years old, since I made it before Josh was even a twinkle in our eyes. It's heading straight to the wash and then I may remake the little pillow cover. It has MAJOR ruffles straight out of my 80's romantic phase.





(The photos suck. White on white is hard!)

Love, Laughter, Sewing, Friendship

I posted a photo of this pincushion in progress back in August. Although it didn't turn out exactly as I envisioned, the message is still great.

This is part of my contribution to the "Finish what you have" challenge. May there be many more.
