It’s an indicator of just how insane April was: I got a bunch of wonderful things at the Knittn’ Kitten during the Big Crafty Weekend, but I didn’t get around to unpacking the bag until yesterday.
So, I got some ric rac, because I always do. And I also stumbled upon these fab ric rac rosebuds. They’re hand-stitched together in a spiral – but I’m not sure how they keep this cool domed shape. Any ideas?
I also joined the feeding frenzy for more Czech glass buttons! Locals, if you haven’t gone in and checked these out, you are missing something unbelievable.
I love the stripe pattern in these, and how it gently waves.
Yes, I know I bought a lot of baby blue buttons on my last visit, but they weren’t these baby blue buttons. I also needed these. It was very important.
I left this photo dark in order to capture some of this pretty iridescence. These are even more colorful in person.
Another interesting score was this stitchery kit.
It’s essentially a felt softie, with every inch covered in crewel embroidery. I love the charming, hand-drawn instructions. I’ll likely never make the kit, but I’m definitely intrigued at the idea of embroidery-covered softies!
