TAST & Buttons


I'm so looking forward to sharon b's 2012 TAST challenge which starts next week.
(http://www.pintangle.com/community-challenges/2011/12/1/take-a-stitch-tuesday-2012-challenge-information-page.html?lastPage=true&postSubmitted=true)
Inspired by my dear friend Carolyn Saxby (http://carolynsaxby.blogspot.com/) who mentioned that she is thinking of a theme for her work in TAST, and as I have done about half the stitches in the 2007 and all in the 2010 challenges, with no theme, I decided to choose a theme this time too.
So ... I've enjoyed using buttons on Christmas cards this year ... I've had a good sort out of many old boxes tucked away and I've found hundreds of buttons.
I'll be doing TAST, with buttons, (and no doubt flowers and beads, which I can't resist), this time. Let's hope Sharon's stitches are easy enough for me.
This pre-challenge piece is Backstitch and Buttons - very easy!

  1. Dear Connie, I had no idea you had a new blog. I kept visiting the old one ... how out of touch I am! Have now added myself as a follower :o)

    Stitch with buttons is a great theme for TAST ... you are sure to keep it going if it's something you enjoy. Looking forward to Tuesday

    Happy new year dear Connie xx

  3. What a good idea to make the TAST challenge more interesting.

    I don't think I've commented on Flickr, but I've very much been enjoying seeing all the holiday cards you've been making :-).
