Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Dorset Buttons

I came across a photo of a Dorset Button and was fascinated by the process. I ordered a kit and had a go with lots of help from Himself. At the end of the 1700's over 4,000 people were making buttons in Shaftesbury and the surrounding area. A good worker could make 7 dozen a day. It took us 2 hours to make one but the average time is 40 minutes so I might make a set for a babies cardigan or a blouse. I love learning new things!
