Crazy finishes!

Hurrah!! Finally a Crazy Challenge finish!! Two in fact!! And both have been so much FUN to stitch!

Needle
CherryWood Design Studios
on 28ct natural straw gingham
using Gentle Art's "Espresso Bean"

I think I would like to have this one framed...!

And here's my entire, rather sad, mishmash of a button collection... ;o) The two really large buttons you see in the glass dish came from two coats that belonged to my grandmother... Sweet memories in strange places... ;o)

Button Button
Erica Michaels
on 32ct Light Sand
using Belle Soie's "Rosebud"

See you next week!!

Nu snel een zakje ervan maken en knopen erin doen! Wat zijn ze allebei verschrikkelijk leuk geworden!

Enne... je weet waar de framer zit, hè? Of is er geen haast bij?

LOVE both of these finishes! Only problem is, there are now 2 more patterns that I think I have to add to my collection! :^)

Very cute finishes! Your button collection looks much like mine, Harmien! I've inherited my mom's and grandma's old buttons and I just love the memories that they bring back...

Very nice finishes. I love buttons - I have several from my grandfather's uniform from the war and several from her clothing. Definitely makes you smile to see them.

What sweet finishes. Now that these two are finished are you going to start two new projects so you will have 15 going all year? :)

Heather said...

Fantastic!! Congratulations on the finishes. They are both great; I've never seen either. Love the way you photographed them!

Melissa said...

They're both really cute! Did you realize you had all those buttons around? That's great for staging the photo!

Congratulations on both finishes!

Beautiful finishes! I think the "Needle" would look great framed!!!

Congratulations on the two finishes, Harmien! They are both beautiful, and you must have Needle framed. I love Button, Button, I think Belle Soie Rosebud is my favourite thread at present.

Both finishes are beautiful but I am partial to the button bag since I used to play that as a child.
