Day 328 - Forest

Day 328 - Forest

A simple doodle button zwirnknopfe button today. What you can't see here is that the red thread is a fine wool - I decided to play about with textures. It really works in real life, adds a nice contrast of dull and shiny with the perle cotton. So I am quite pleased with it. 

I'm shattered today! Must be last week catching up with me. But the day has been bright (but freezing - we can't be let off that lightly, lol) so we shouldn't moan.

Goodness, Bob Mortimer is hilarious. Watching repeats of Would I lie to you as I write this and can't stop laughing. If you need cheering up, I highly recommend any episode with this man as a guest. 

 

Day 327 : Doodle Hearts

 

Day 327 : Doodle Hearts

I really love the almost sketchy feel of this button. I think it would look pretty cool with black outlines too - a bit like tattoos. The extra doodle lines did really relax the original woven hearts, which are actually even and structured (from my Woven Motif booklet). 

Finished my tassel, ready for the post tomorrow. Now to try to unwind, for an evening. And catch up on my emails. Good job my Mom is very understanding. 

Hope your Monday is good everyone!

Day 326 : Cosmos

Day 2326 : Cosmos

Today's button combines some ordinary stitching (using one of our button border stamps for the circles!) and plushwork stitching. I love plushwork. But then again I love pompoms and velvet too :) As I used a variegated thread, the randomness of the colours turned out really well. 

Still working away on the tassel - onto the goldwork macrame overskirt this evening and tomorrow. That will take a fair bit of time as the thread is so small. 

I do hope you are all having a lovely weekend.
