All the things I love.
- Coffee at the market with Meghan, and meeting her lovely friends from France.
- Food, food, food, and Merry Christmas to the stall holders who have kept us well-fed all year.
- Sitting in the sun with the dog on my feet, watching the world go up and down my street.
- Laundry and sweep while listening to the cricket.
- Sewing, sewing... and more sewing!
Pretty felt brooches for friends.
Snipping the circle; fold and snip, fold and snip - to make the petals.
Sewing perle thread for a decorative edge.
Finished brooch: it looks better slightly ruffled, so a circle of heavy-duty thread is sewn around the edge and pulled tight for a ruffly flower.
The finished brooch.Now I'm just sitting down to show a few photos of what I've made, then it's time to do some Christmas baking, and off to an open house tonight.
Lovely Friday.

I'm so jealous!!! I'd LOVE a me-day!!!
love the brooch - so pretty! and is that the baker that sells the Italian crostini - go back and have some for me! :-)
Ahhh, when I worked in the city I used to stop at that bread place at the Vic Market all of the time when they stocked pretzels! Big, delicious, salty pretzels! Yum...
Cute brooches!
