Monday monday ~

Happy Monday afternoon my friends ~

I am hoping that you are enjoying a bit of the cooler weather that we've been having here in the south ~

although, Mizz Flea says we will get hot again tomorrow...

I'd rather it didn't!

and let's keep those folks in CA in our prayers ~ those wildfires are nasty!

scares me to death...

while watching the news, and movies, and youtube, and browsing Pinterest...

i've been working on the designs below:

almost finished with these ~

 the square 2 will become new patterns for our pin keep bases, as mentioned in an earlier post,

and the other 2 I have no clue as to what they'll end up being!

ever done that?

just start working on something with no real plan as how to finish?

to be honest, I just drew them up on the weavers cloth because I had room for 'something' else and hate to waste an inch of anything :)

I did finish another little pendant too, and will offer this one on Ebay this evening ~

the little W I T C H pendant on Ebay at the moment is ending in 2 days, 

....so I wanted to put another up before it ends ~

bittersweet & key pendant

 I love choosing just the right little button, buckle or finding for my things ~

I have a nice collection of junk and love to root through & dump out my many (many) jars of stuff.

I have jars that hold bone buttons, white buttons, black buttons, brown buttons ~

rusty pins, rusty bells, rusty wire...

jars full of thread spools, empty spools and just thread.

I love apothecary jars and have them filled with wool, string and old millinery flowers...

and I like to keep them out where I can see them:

a corner in my sewing room ~

Thanks so much to everyone for their kind words regarding my book coming out ~

and to those...who have pre ordered.

 I will leave the link up on my sidebar for easy ordering for you ~

remember, if you'd like your copy signed/personalized, 

I'm happy to ~ just let me know you do :)

Have a beautiful & quiet (of what remains) Monday friends ~
