What are these for?

I had no time to do any Easter tatting and then spent the holiday decorating and sorting out cupboards and drawers etc.    It is amazing how much rubbish we keep in our homes!


Managed to make these button creations a couple of weeks ago and I am going to sew them onto something in the next few days. They do not look very exciting at the moment but all will be revealed soon!

Which One?

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles!
