small things

Januari started with making small things
áfter some time of doing nothing at all.
(that always happens after some frenzied time
like working for the christmas fair)

I made new roses 

Ha, the white rose I had on the fair sold almost immediately

After that 
I took the pattern Daughter made  
for the little pouch for scissors 
she made for her best friend as a christmas present.

I hope you know what you have to do 
when you give scissors (a much appreciated gift)
to a friend ???
You add to the present : a little stone (!) 
so the scissors won't cut up your friendship !

(still have to sew on a snap button for closure)

I embroidered a tiny felted heart

almost finished

And today I made another flower (on commission) 
for the lady who bought a nuno felted shawl on the fair 
for which I couldn't offer a flower in the right colour
to use as a fastening pin

drying and waiting for the finishing touch


But ...
I made something  b i g g e r  too : 
hmmmm ... later !
