January 11 button ornament

Today is my brother's birthday. I'd like to say that I designed an ornament for his birthday, but I didn't. I just happened to design one on his birthday. Happy birthday, David!

Does this look familiar? I added a second round to the January 10 ornament.

January 11 Button Ornament


Materials:

5/8" four hole button

size 20 thread

2 shuttles wound continuous thread method


Symbols:

+ join

- joining picot

Chain 6, reverse work


*Ring 3 + 3 + 3 - 3, reverse work (join to picot on previous ring and to button)

Repeat from * to ** around, with three joins in each hole, joining final chain to base of 

first ring.


Round 2:

Repeat from * to ** around, joining last chain to base of first ring.

My friend Shelley was inspired to adapt my Doodle Ice Drop as a button. I love the thread color, and I LOVE all those picots!


I was inspired to try Shelley's tourtiere recipe. It was delicious! We had it for dinner both last night and tonight, and there's just enough left for lunch tomorrow. It's been a while since I've tried a new recipe. This was a great way to start out the new year!


I seem to have Doodles on the brain today. A doodle donut started my day.


A doodle button quickly followed. I'd like to say I'm going to tat a Doodle Ice Drop tonight, but I think my tatting for the day is done!
