The Arizona heat is on. It's only 97 right now....a cool down! By the weekend the temperature will climb again.
Just a close up of the details....I like the ribbon trim on her hat...I used a piece of netting for her net...and a twig from the garden...found the perfect trim for the apron and a couple of ladybugs added. Fun creating these gals.
Lisa update: her mom Carol and sister Beth arrived Sunday(Beth has left). Carol will be here for 2 weeks. We thought Lisa would be home by now....Lisa is finally out of ICU and in a room. there have been a few hiccups requiring more monitoring. Fingers and toes crossed she will be home any day now. All in all, Lisa is doing very well.... ambulating with minor assist and all IVs and drains are removed. The temporary pacemaker is all that is left.thank all who keep her in your thoughts.
I am learning button making. Why..just because. So far I have made the Dorset Button and the Death Head Button. The Dorset button dates back to 1622 in Dorset England. They were used for men's waistcoats.The Death Head dates to the 17th and 18th centuries and were mainly used for military uniforms. this type of needlework is sometimes referred to as passementerie.... the art of making elaborate trims and edging trims like buttons and tassels and braiding. Today a book I ordered on this craft arrives! I will be waiting for that Amazon truck!!! I am always eager to learn something new. For the buttons, I think I will attach to a banner..... I will be sure to take pictures as I learn to make these buttons.
Nice to chat with you again. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. Thank you for your friendship.
