More work has been happening in my little design notebook but the thing that excites me the most today are the new toggles. Sometimes I forget how good it is to just create embellishents like these, to have them in your stash, to have a jar full of hand embroidered buttons, toggles, trims. (that reminds me, I haven't made any trims for a while, must rectify that)
My plans for creating a wrapping cloth in my new class are what gave me the push to think about embellishments like these toggles. These are so useful when making a wrapping cloth for edges, finishing touches.
(if you are registered for the new class perhaps you could be thinking about your own buttons, toggles etc now?)
But let's not forget this little book. I am getting so much pleasure embellishing these pages, trying out placement for embroidery stitches, ribbons, laces before I actually create my cloth.
(again, if you are registered for the new class perhaps you could start a little book? we have just over one week to go and it's amazing what can be achieved in that time. In fact let me know if you do start a little book or start toggle and button making and I can open up our private Flickr group early)
My next post will be Week ten of my free embroidery class. Week ten.....how did that happen?
