Making for friends

I wanted to make something for my best friend for her birthday but she has had enough woolly things from me to last a lifetime so I made her a picture. 
OK so I need to take the back off and get that bit of rubber off the branch!


It was a very difficult thing to photograph in all it's simplistic glory. 



I tried it with buttons but they were too big so I used up some ceramic greek beads which I used to edge a shawl many moons ago.


She liked it and I am not sure if she realised I had made it. Maybe she was just grateful it wasn't another scarf!

  1. It's very lovely! Lovely to hear from you today. I've been a little offline recently. Mainly time constraints and being a listening ear for a friend with a lot of worries. I will enjoy a catch up tonight though! Wishing you a great week, Bee xx
