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 !
Im always amazed at the beautiful things you make. :)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love those flowers I wanted to try and make felted flowers this year.
The heart is beautiful too!
Thanks for the tip about the vinegar rinse :)
Wonderful start to your new year, Els! I love the green collar from last post, and the little tiny scissor case is such a sweet thing. xxoo, sus

BeantwoordenVerwijderenLovely little things. We have the same believed about giving sharp objects like knife scissors, the different is we say to give coin. How interesting? Very cute pouch - Hugs Nat
