Twit twoo

Thanks for all your kind words, the last post seems to have struck a cord with an awful lot of us ..... post Christmas, early spring blues, depressing news...... seems to have a hold in parts of the northern hemisphere. Anyway, I have managed to give myself a good stern talking to and jackie told me to 'get to work', so I have. Onto that in a min. I wanted to show you this first. It's a piece of work I purchased with some old lace. The maker has used a piece of linen with paper tacked onto the front. She (I'm assuming) has used two lengths of a sort of thin ribbon and tacked these lengths into diamond shaped repeat pattern. She has then worked needlelace in the voids of the diamonds. Various patterns are worked and repeated to form the most exquisite length of lace. A real joy to see how this piece was worked.
This week I have been mostly making this needlecase..........

A crocheted pendant and.........

another crocheted pendant. I have used old buckles as the focal and added lots of buttons, lace and little strips of Liberty, I'm kinda likin' how they have turned out :-)

I hope your week is going well.

Thank you for stopping by.x

ps:In the quiet of my work room, I can hear an owl outside twit twooing, such a good, countrysidey sound!
