Thank God its Friday

Well it was a tough week in the world of Payroll. With quarterlies, W2’s and paychecks, I thought for sure there was going to be a stabbing. Since I am not writing you from jail it looks like I made it out OK. To celebrate this non stabbing moment I thought I would give you some eye candy….

This is one of my favorite pieces I have made. It is a cuff and is done in an even peyote stitch. I love cherry blossom trees, I think they have such a classic beauty with an underlying strength that is timeless. This is what I came up with to capture that. Have a great day!

Grandma’s Buttons

Most of us have that Ball jar of our coveted ancestor buttons. Mine are from my grandma, given to me after she passed. Now I did use a few when I quilted a blanket for my daughter’s 9th Christmas, but other than that they have stayed in the jar on the shelf. Remember coveted. In comes a blog I Stumbled upon Hope Studios. Button Bracelets! I couldn’t find leather cord, darn small town, so hemp twine it is. Here are the results plus my daughter’s obsession with color sorting. Have a Happy Day!
