and some new squarer ones (below) Re the new design - I think I like them, but I'd like some feedback. What do you think? Comments and constructive criticisms welcome:
I sometimes struggle with things like this because if I saw these brooches in a shop I might not necessarily buy them for myself. Everything I produce is a reflection of me and my style. I know I can't assume that just because something is not my absolute favourite then other people won't like it - and I do enjoy the making part anyway so maybe I just shouldn't worry about it too much.I've picked out a load of felts, buttons and threads to make some more, which I'll make a start on after I've cooked the dinner - roast beef and yorkshire puddings. mmm.
In unrelated craft news, I've had a snotty nose and a sore throat all weekend - I've been dosing up on cold and flu remedy and drinking plenty but I'd really like it to go away now because it's making me feel lethargic, and I have way too much to do to feel like this - I've only got a few weeks (and only one weekend) left before the May Day Fair which I have a stall at - along with my sister, who incidentally now has a blog, and indeed an etsy shop (not open just yet) - yes, she has caved into the pressure - she's very new to all of this so please be kind to her :o)

I love your new brooches - the orange square one is my favourite! Good luck with getting everything ready for the fair.
I must go and pay your sister a visit now :)

I like the square ones though I think I prefer the flower ones.
We had roast beef and yorkshire oud tonight too - and cauliflower cheese as a special treat. And now my tumy hurts ...
When a friend and I had a craft stall there were things we made that other people liked much more than we did - it's weird isn't it?
I adore your flower brooches, but the squares are pretty too.
Sorry to hear you've been poorly - get well soon.

PS Saw all your comments at MM's place about the word verification. You're mad! The one I have sitting there before me now is rmmsohwg: what are you going to make out of that, eh? :-p x
Great brooches. I would probably buy the flower one for Miss 16 but a square one for myself. I can't wait to hear how the fair goes.
I really like the brown and pink flower brooch. The colours are great and it's quite a simple but striking piece. It's definately something I would choose for myself.
The square brooches are a bit too fussy for me. But I do like the way you're showing off a really beautiful button with them.
We had roast pork yesterday - lots of lovely crackling!
Good luck with the fair.
First up, the brooches, the flower ones make me happy (especially the blue one) but the square ones interest me because of the textures and because I know how nice and fat they will feel - I love layer upon layer of felt!
Secondly, sorry to hear you are feeling poorly - I hope it clears really quickly
And Thirdly - off to visit your sister now!
