     Here is the last brooch, so far, from my Stacked Ring Brooch Collection.  I decided to but it on an unturned safety pin, added beads then added the turn.

 

Tatsmithing

Tatsmithing

    Another tatsmithed pendant, made with two strands of sewing thread.  I decided to leave this one ruffled for a more lacy effect.

 

Cross

Cross

    This cross pendant was found in the Italian magazine,  Il Mio Chiacchierino.  I made this for my sister's birthday, last month.  This was a great challenge!!  It was written for needle but I used the shuttles...4 SHUTTLES AT ONCE!!  I couldn't let my mind wander.  I used four strands of sewing thread to make it.

      When we moved up here, I had to leave a lot behind.  One of the things was a large collection of Workbaskets.  Thankfully, I found a couple at a local yard sale.

     I found some tatting scraps in the bottom of a bag.  I didn't have the heart to through them away.  They made nice embellishments to the eggs.

 

Crochet

Crochet 

    My aunt sent me some crocheted egg parts to put together.  She had received them from a friend.  The eggs were intended, to be stiffened.  Instead, I sewed them up around a plastic egg and decorated the the middle section.
