I am working on a few gifts for friends, who don't read my blog, hehe. A quick brooch, I know I should crochet the leaves but I simply don't have the time, I have added a plastic but realistic piece of foliage. I have added a brooch back and a button from my huge collection of buttons. I must confess I have a problem with buttons. If anyone is throwing clothes away I ask if I can have the buttons. I am convinced will use them all , one day.
I have not decided if I like the small leaves or the larger one.
I am joining in with the winter project link party over at
Thistlebear. It is always lovely to see what others are working on. Thank you to
Bronwyn who has suggested I should use a black button as use it on remembrance day.
Very pretty - and poppy like! Maybe you could make another with a black button for Remembrance Day next year!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, the first thing I thought was that it would make a great poppy for Remembrance Day. It's lovely, I suppose you could use the different foliage for different occasions therefore giving it a new lease of life.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful brooch and a lovely way to use one of your pretty treasured buttons! xx
ReplyDeleteOh, it's lovely! Well done you - I like the foliage. I have my mother and my grandmothers' button collection and I appreciate them so much. One day, someone will appreciate yours!
ReplyDeleteHi Helda! Thanks for stopping by One Saylor's Log to see what I am up to and leaving a comment. Your brooch is lovely! I am now following your blog and putting it on my blogroll, and am very interested in exploring your past posts to get to know your better. I admire the clever designs I see you have been making! I'm cheering you on as you tackle more projects! I'm glad you enjoyed the photos of Mt. Hood. It is beautiful and I enjoy sharing photos of my surroundings as well as typing about current stitching projects or crafting and cooking experiments. I hope you will visit again :)
ReplyDeleteYou have made a stunning brooch, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteHi Helda, thank you for joining in with my link party! Your brooch is so pretty. I love the look of a crocheted flower, it just seems fancier than a fabric one. Thank you for sharing. I hope you're having a good week, take care.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, I have never mastered crochet :(
ReplyDeleteYou make mw smile with your button scavenging habit :-) The poppy is sweet, a lovely present.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely brooch. Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, such a beautiful gift. I LOVE the button.
ReplyDeleteHi, your brooch looks gorgeous. I make gifts for my family and frends too. It´s good idea and usually gladdens.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit by me.
Have a lovely day, Jitka
Hello Helda and thank you so much for stopping by mine and leaving your sweet comment. Glad you liked my blanket and my cowl but I see I will have to spend a little more time here at yours since you have so many lovely patterns of offer! The brooch that you made here is very pretty, especially offset with those lovely beads. So nice to meet you too, Helda.
ReplyDeleteYour brooch looks beautiful and I love your stylish photos here. The button makes a perfect flower centre.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment today and kind words about my book.
Happy new week!

Hi Helda, I am visiting back from the link party and this is my first visit here - what a lot of crochet goodness! I love the flower brooch and like the mix of foliage texture against the yarn. I have a button habit too :-) xx
ReplyDeleteHi Helda, thanks for visiting my blog and trying the apple cake recipe.I'm glad you like the cake. Using pears instead of apples is a great idea, will try that one too hopefully this weekend. Your brooch is beautiful especially worn ion a black coat nd I like the button you used for the flower centre. I'm a fan of Inside Crochet and I'm delighted that you design patterns for the magazine. Will be back here soon - got my eye on the Molokini shawl.
