Thanks, Jane!

 

Jane M suggested I combine my December 6 button ornament pattern with the Nautical - traditional pattern from Dorset Ring Buttons by Gina Barrett. Jane said that she the December 6 pattern reminded her of a ship's wheel, and I agree!

Thanks, Jane!

Nautical - traditional

 

Today was a slow crafting day. I was having too much fun watching YouTube videos!

This is a Dorset pattern that I will try again. The spacing looked fine as I was working, but when I was finished I wasn't happy with the way it looks. It may be because there are five spokes. I always find it challenging to space uneven numbered designs so that they are pleasing to my eye. Still, I'm sure that this is a challenge I will enjoy. The pattern is Nautical - traditional from Dorset Ring Buttons by Gina Barrett.

This Japanese button book arrived in the mail today. The pictures are beautiful, but figuring out the patterns is going to take some brain power. I sure hope Google Translate helps out with this one!
