October 13 - October 19, 2013

I know, unbelievable, I'm posting twice this weekend (actually, it's 45 minutes before Monday, so technically it's still the weekend).This week was the second half of my holidays, did some day toots, some sitting in the sunshine rug hooking, wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable - I could get used to this.
Here's 7 more....

A little chrysanthemum brooch. Because of the open spaces between the swirling petals, the flower looks different - depending on the colour of the top that you're wearing - a nice effect.

Was this my pin as a kid, or a sibling's? Don't recall. But I ended up with it. Not being a water baby, beginner suits me to a T. 

My friend's Mom, Noreen, was a stylish lady. Always well dressed from head to toe. I love it that I have one of her brooches.

A perfect brooch to wear in the autumn - a fiery red to match the blaze of colour in the trees. And it's in a leaf shape too.

This brooch was made at a workshop. This is my third bendy lady brooch. I must have been humming a tune from the disco era (OMG !) cause look at those shoulders; they're tres padded.

I don't know what part of the Scottish attire this clan pin would be worn on, something wooly and tartan I hope. It's a substantial brooch and feels good to wear - maybe it's tweaking my Scottish blood. Don't you just love the kitty and the inscription. Check it out on Goggle.

This autumn, we ( well, mostly my husband; 30 lbs was my contribution), cooked 120 lbs of Cortland apples into applesauce. We filled up our half-size freezer, and proceeded to add containers to 2 other neighbourhood freezers. Thank you kind friends. Oh, and the brooch... I don't have many wooden brooches. I'm glad the artist left the stem and leaf natural wood. It's a cheerful brooch.
