Jane's Brooches

As you will have seen on Jane's blog she is making the most colourful brooches ever.  Kindly she e.mailed me the pattern and although I have made quite a few over the weeks, I have now given them a break for a while.  It may seem strange but I never put the dangle bit on the bottom but prefer them to be the same all the way around.  My reason for this is because a few years ago I made some decorations using buttons with a dangle on the bottom and people used to then pick them up by that bit, so they were actually holding them upside down, it used to so annoy me!



At the moment 'Im in the garage is cutting out 40 of those practice shuttles that you saw in my last blog post.  Sadly no more people have signed up to learn to tat next month so it looks like there will be a huge surplus of these shuttles.  I will just have to make sure that at least one of them is in my next giveaway!

  1. Lovely brooches, I can understand why you did not put the dangle, some people just pick up things and don't care how they pick it up or understand which way up things are, I get the same with hearts on my table, I put them the right way and they stand there playing with them wondering which way is up.

  4. I like them with no dangles, what a beautiful choice of beads! I hope you'll have all the people you desire at your course, but having one of those shuttles as a giveaway would be great!

  5. That is sad about the class and extra shuttles. Maybe after your class, those pupils will tell others and a bigger class will be forthcoming. I am sure if the shuttles find their way on Etsy, they would be adopted.

  6. I like the brooch without the dangle. Lovely. I'm sure you will find homes for the shuttles, though it's a shame there weren't more takers for the lessons.
