Mother of Pearl Buttons Jewelry

I have been keeping busy by creating jewelry with my collection of antique Mother of Pearl buttons. I am not finished with them but just starting.

This bracelet I made beaded the bezel.


I made this necklace with ribbon and mop buttons all around the ribbon and some more in the cameo.





This is a locket with mop button and I used rhinestones on top of the button holes.


This necklace I used a triangle crocheted doily and stiffened it and used mop buttons and lace trim.



These pieces are half finished looking for some inspiration.







Framed Jewelry Organizer

I am in love with this Framed Jewelry Organizer.

Here is a photo and a link to who makes them. (The Cottage of Content)
I love the pineapple patterned doily.


This is the one I made for my daughter. The next one I make will be like the one above but in blue tones.

White Alphabet Sampler

This sampler I found in one of the issues of Del fil en aiguilles magazine. I really loved the look for my bedroom which will match my white blanket on the bed and a black frame to match the black wood furniture.
I used 32 ct. natural linen and DMC B5200 so it would be bright.

I also made a cute baby bib using a towel and blue cotton linen for the back.  My sewing is still not very even and straight but I try.

Jour de Lessive


This model was from an issue 37 of Creation Point de Croix Magazine.
The designer is Passion Bonheur. This item is going into my bathroom.
It is stitched on 32 count cream linen and I changed the initials to my own and my husbands.
If you look hard enough, you will find it easily on Pinterest.

Toile de Jouy

This was a gift for a young lady in my family who graduated into high school.
The model is from Les Brodeuse Parisiennes.

Problems...

I am having the worst time for a few weeks. My computer is on the fritz and I can not get into my Pinterest page. I have to start all over again. That really sucks so bad. At least I have cross stitching to calm my nerves. I am doing some beautiful samplers right now. Can not wait until they are done.
