Here are some very pretty cloth earrings, and hair pins which my sister Elodie sent me.

My first try at Amigurumi ( Japanese crochet toys )

The free pattern is available here :

Here is a photo of a few antique punch paper ( or bristol board ) embroidery bookmarks from the 1800's.

Petit point, and other stitches, done in wool and silk. They are each attached to a long silk ribbon.

I  am a fan of all that is vintage needlework, so it was only natural that I should try out tatting. It is really a neat, but time consuming lace making technique.

Here is a little pin cushion I made with a simple tatted border, and a silk rose done in petit point over one thread on 28 ct linen.
