I have finished off and sent my button jewelery swap. My partner was
Pennydog who makes the coolest resin jewelery, incorporating all sorts of treasure. She had mentioned on her blog a love of liberty print fabric so I
ordered some from E-bay and bought some gorgeous glass buttons which are handmade by a local pal. I ended up w
ith a choker, cuff and brooch, with a couple of button rings because- well how could I not!? As fate and luck would have it our parcels crossed in the post and I opened mine to find this; A gorgeous ditsy print
embedded, used to cover a button and co-ordinated to make a lovely necklace, wool,
fimo buttons, pink res
in star magnets and Chocolate!! This has been another fantastic swap so a big thanks to
Incywincy. I shall have such fun wearing my necklace and making something cool for ME
with the ace buttons. I also plan to make a scarf
with the wool, something to match the necklace. I have been h
aving a really nice time playing with wool and making new scarves for the winter fairs. I haven't made a scarf to sell before but have been asked for them so thought I'd give it a go. I have been knitting plain ones on a very large circular needle, working along the length so as not to let the scarf stretch and distort. I also had a go at crocheting a
scarflet type lariat thing- somewhere between a scarf and necklace. I love these! I have made a matching brooch to go with each scarf,
something
to make them a little more attractive and I can see these looking so nice under a smart jacket, with the brooch on the lapel, or over a jumper with brooch pinning the
scarflet together. It is all fairly mindless and soothing and
just what I need right now. Perhaps a little fool-
hardily I now have three swaps signed up for and to complete, but am feeling really excited about all the making possibilities and reveling in coming up with all sorts of wild plans and possibilities. Making is my refuge and I am enjoying letting it sooth me.
