Dorset Button Creations

I have been working on some new pieces of jewellery using Dorset buttons.  For anyone who hasn't heard of them, they are basically created using a round ring and embroidery thread, silk threads or any other kind of thread you can lay your hands on.

I promise I will post a photo tutorial on here when I have a chance to take some pictures, but for now here is some of my latest work.

I've joined Twitter!

Really sorry to anyone who may be following my blog.........I know I haven't posted anything for quite a long time!  Just thought I would let you know that I have finally succumbed and joined Twitter and it's actually really rather good.  I'm still very new to it and haven't completely got to grips with it yet, but once I over-came the initial dilemma of what to 'tweet', I was quite surprised to find myself adding something new every day.........and checking my home page regularly to find out what other people have tweeted!

I have only been using Twitter for just over a week and so far I have found it really enjoyable.  Not only has it provided me with an opportunity to reach a wider audience and post photos of my latest work, it has allowed my to gain an insight into the world of fellow crafters.  This has both inspired me and provided me with countless pearls of wisdom.

I would recommend Twitter to anyone and even if you think Twitter is not for you............who doesn't want to know what there favourite celebrities are up to on their days off???
