Tiny Temari

Just an itsy bitsy temari with interlocking diamonds.  One of the set for giving for Christmas.

Half a Heart

Well, a bit more than half, actually.  Anyway, getting closer to being done.

First Attempt at Rose Garden

Since I'm deeply into making temari for Christmas presents, I decided to experiment.  This is my first attempt at what is commonly called a Rose Garden.  The perle is crochet cotton from Bulgaria.  It came out pretty well, I think.

Another Batch of Costumes

Don't you love the hat?

Almost There

So very close to being halfway done on this side.  But now I'm laying it aside for a month to work on Christmas stuff.  Maybe I'll get back to it sooner than that.

Still More Costumes

A lot of these were from plays depicting the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.  Enjoy.

Helina's Seamwork Block

I decided to focus on the curved seam in the middle for this.  It called for a vine in my opinion, so that's what I did.  I also did some ribbon and bead stuff on it.  Hopefully she likes it.  It's already in Finland.
