Linen Yarn & Soldered Charms.......

Posted by Swoon with Deb Hodge

I decided to take a break from my sewing to watch the ever beautiful movie,

"Pride & Prejudice".

Miss Elizabeth, Jane, Mr. Darcy.......
LOVE this movie, the love story, the Dresses!

Well.... Since I have issues about keeping my hands still, not using them.....

I must do something, even while watching TV.

I grabbed my charms that I created last month, after learning how to solder

from my darling friend

Terri Brush,

then took hold of the most DELICIOUS 100% Linen Yarn that my beautiful friend

Diane Eakes

purchased for me from "The Grove" here in San Diego.

If you know me, you know that I LOVE Linen and Ruffles!

I wanted to place my charms on something soft and beautiful, other than the standard chain....so I gathered up my crochet hook, size 10, and created a Ruffled Chain of Linen to attach my soldered charms to.

I think they'll look delightful with my linen clothing :-)
