Owls

     I had found a few, cute, owl buttons at the fabric store.  I decided to make a few hair clips, with them.  I also had a heart button.

Button

 Button

       When I seen the "Square Button Bag," in Martha Ess's, Button Jar Tatting book, I had to make it.  I added a lot more and more beads to the pattern.  This little purse came out to be, about 4" wide.  Cute for a little girls purse, or a big girls evening purse.  The front of the purse has buttons, while the back is plain (with lots of beads).

     One of my favorite doilies to tat is "Doily #3,"  from Jan's Tatting Theory."  I used size 10 thread to match the big doily on my cedar chest.
