Pulling out the class kit & sorting thru colors of perle coton. I picked up a couple embellishments at our local craft store - flowers, rabbits, which I may add once oval is completed. My girlfriend's husband makes beeswax pieces and I was gifted a few of them last week.
Preparing for Karen Smock's Zwirnknopt Easter Egg class thru the Lace Museum Virtual Education. Nice button store - Karen's Buttons Supplies. Their class selection is wonderful - a lot to choose from. I continue to be grateful to friends who have gifted fibers and supplies to me!!.jpg)
Seems I've been using up a lot of DMC perle coton fibers - sizes 12, 8, 5; and Lizbeth size 20. For the buttons I've been creating - I'm enjoying using up some of my odd bits of thread stash! Such a bonus to select my favourite colors.
