Isn't it strange that I'd already decided on blue brooches for today's post? I could just say they are in honour of the new Royal baby boy but then I'd be stretching my imagination a bit!!! I usually decide on posts a day or two ahead so was rather chuffed when Kate and William decided to honour my blog by producing a boy yesterday!!!
I can now make these without checking myself every few seconds!!!! I sit with the laptop on my knees in the evening working on patterns and am always checking and double checking as I go.

Most of the fun in these brooches is the rummaging through my thread and bead stash deciding what to use next!!! The other evening I was in a 'blue mood' so here's what happened!!!!!
Of course this colour always reminds me of Diane who is a 'blue lady'!!! I will add these two to the Etsy shop some time soon although I need to take photos of them first and then package them - not my favourite part!!!!
So, what colour will be next? I'll have a look in my stash later to decide. SUCH fun.
Isn't it strange - the new baby was born on the 23rd here!! - quite amazing, really, when you think about it, the accident of place and time of one's birth.
ReplyDeleteI think your blue brooches are very appropriate!

ReplyDeleteAll my honour is yours, as you tat with beads. I mean you make miracle with the beads!
Sorry, Mary Tatsme, I'm not sure which thread it is. I THINK it's a hand dyed. I'll take a look in my stash later and get back to you.
