"russian doll button brooch"

some time ago i did a trade with incywincy for some of her lovely fabric covered buttons
{link to her shop on sidebar}
while supposedly making more owl brooches for my shops i got sidetracked and made this
multi-layered button embellished brooch instead!

i'm really pleased how it turned out
it's available in my shops now!

more owls are coming soon too!

my owl swap parcel came yesterday too but i haven't loaded the photo's yet
i'll try and add it tomorrow - lovely stuff!

mabel got framed and other stories

i found a tiny vintage frame for "Mabel" not quite sure what i'll do with her now though!

Ages ago i took part in Meridian Ariel's http://meridianariel.blogspot.com/ "fairytale swap" - i meant to blog my swap gifts from Jo Lovejoyhttp://www.things-to-make-and-do.co.uk/ at the time but some pesky little boy ran off with it! He loves the little book with the textued pieces of jabberwocky skin and wing! I managed to get the book back and photographed before having to give it back - i also got a notebook and a bookmark - Jo enquired whether this was "dark" enough a tale for my taste - oh yes it sure is, as a child i was terrified of this poem which my parent's would relish in reciting to me "don't say that JabeRwOcKy" would be my fearful response - thanks Jo!!!!

ooohh look what i got in the post

loads of gorgeous fabric covered buttons from incywincystitches http://www.incywincystitches.com/

cute cute cute little dolls

and even cuter winter wonderland creatures - which i'm going to sew on to my black winter coat.

oh and there were some cute strawberry shortcake hair bobbles but my daughter has them somewhere in the murky teenage depths of her bedroom!!!
