Crocheted Brooches With Vintage Buttons

These are not the, over the top, unusual,  accessories that I typically make.

They are simple crocheted flower brooches embellished with vintage buttons.

Something that anyone could feel comfortable wearing.

I think they might look nice to dress up a jacket or maybe pin one on a cool weather scarf.

All were crocheted with lovely wool yarn and backed with recycled wool felt.

I love the antique glass button on this ivory one.

I think most of these will end up as gifts, but I'll probably keep at least one for myself .

I made a simple necklace as well.

I felted the wool beads myself. First I needle felted them and then followed that up with some wet felting.

There is a glass bead between each of the felted ones and the clasp is copper.

Once again, not my usual, over the top, kind of thing.

Perfect for Fall, don't you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

Harvesting Herbs

Yesterday was a perfect Fall day here in PA.

The temps were in the 60's and the sun was shining.

After taking Jack for his walk, I spent some time harvesting a few of my sweet smelling herbs for drying.

Rosemary, Thyme, Sage, Anise, Lavender, Parsley

Smudge Sticks.

The fragrance was heavenly.

Thanks for looking!

Country Mouse

A mouse in your house is not such a good thing, but these little guys can stay.

I whipped up these little crocheted mice while watching T.V. last night.

They are made of wool and have glass eyes.

I think if you stuffed them with catnip, they'd make a great little toy for your cat.

I found the pattern for these HERE.

Okay, I'm off to thank the creator of this sweet pattern and to follow her blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
