New idea

I found this Austrian embellishment to hang from my pendants. I think it looks very nice!

You find the description at Etsy.

TAST barred chain stitch

...and this is the piece for this week's challenge.

They are all going to be a part of my "Stitch Dictionnary"

TAST cross stitch

This is the piece for last week's TAST challenge.

Waiting to be sent - The new ones!

These are the new ones. I'm enjoying packing them with the little Moo-Card and these small greeting cards!

It is so nice to think that they are a link between my studio in the Austrian landscape and so many different parts of the world!

Some more ladies

I am finishing some more pendants I began at the house of my daughter. They take quite a time to do but I love this work! They are about 1 1/4"x3 1/2" (3,5 x 9 cm)just the right length to wear them over a T-shirt or blouse.

You can find them at my Etsy shop.

Last week I had to take care of my grand children. They are already 10 and 13 so that they go to school and I had lots of time free.

I decided to do something for my Etsy shop.

I want to put some bigger works in the shop too but this little pendants seemed like a good idea. They were nice to make. I could use the techniques I like the most, my faces and lots of hand stitching. The ceramic buttons are from Czech handcrafters. I bought them at Cesky Krumlov, a wonderful medieval city on the Vitava. They are handmade. The waxed cord is knotted at the top.
