Leaf love
The weather has turned quite cold and several hard frosts have seen the last of the leaves fall to the ground. This morning as I walked through the woods I crunched through those leaves turned crisp with frost, their edges glistening below the low November sun. The dogs scampered and ran, their energy high, glad to be out on a cold, dry day.
I did not mean to leave the blog so long, the days are passing quickly at the moment, I cannot ignore the approach of December, the mad month. I have been busy too, there has been a great deal of sewing and knitting.
The sewing has been mostly orders but this little brooch was the result of some very satisfactory mending. A friend showed me her ripped skirt and after failing to come up with any suitable fabric with which to make a good invisible mend it occurred to me that a little complimentary patch might work. I rather liked the result and decided to sew up a brooch along the same lines.
And then I made a few more as gifts and of course I just had to have one for my green coat.
I have added a few to my Etsy shop too, just in case anyone else needs a little leafy adornment.
