Beads

I have had a good week , finishing, or at least seeing  the way forward to finishing a number of pieces. I have got my sewing machine back in action and stitched these two brooches, they both remind me of ice .    Out walking today there was lots of snow and ice  at one of my favorite places Easedale tarn.       I found some nice simple wooden frames in Hobbycraft which fit my stitched felt squares perfectly.  I only bought two as a trial , but they are perfect , I will be back for more soon.     I have also been hand stitching .  This little beauty contains a vintage  button and now has some lines of beads to finish it.  All in all a good week , some wonderful walking and lots of felt finishing .
