Keeping out of mischief ...

At last my little creative streak has come to the fore and I've purposely made myself stop, take time out and play a little. Playing, but not misbehaving ... first of all I've been making button necklaces. They don't take long, and I'm hoping that by the time the Vintage Textile and Costume Day @ Dairy House comes round - 3 weeks on Sunday - a button necklace will still be a suitable accessory!! Apologies for the poor light - believe it or not most of the buttons in the first photo are shades of blue!!

No problem if these are no longer the height of fashion, I'll wear them myself - I've probably now made one to coordinate with every colour of jumper in my possession!! They've been great relaxation therapy and as my latest offering looks good on my other playtime activity, I might just have to keep the necklace AND the mannequin!

I have 2 other mannequin bodies to patchwork before 11 April but believe it or not, despite having acres of fabric, choosing the right pieces isn't an easy task.

Have a lovely weekend  (I know it's only Wednesday today but I won't be posting again this week) - it's a special one for me, but I'll tell you all about that next week.
