A new craft?

No, not really but I did have fun learning something new. On Sunday I went to a workshop at Purl's Palace to learn to make jewelery out of buttons. This was the end result:

A necklace, a pair of earings



and a bracelet.



It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Purl's Palace has a delightful atmosphere and Zoe kept us well supplied with delicious tea and biscuits.

I've made a start on my bag for the Australian Bag Lady swap on Ravelry.



This is going quite quickly. Just as well because if turns out to be a disaster I should have enough time to make another bag.
