Then I did some more playing in black thread (rather than the white which I had been using for the samplers), realising that, on the random fabric I had pulled out of the stash to practice on, it would look good for something specific I was vaguely thinking about. (Can you think vaguely about something specific? What I mean is that I was thinking I could use some of these stitches on fabric and then cut them up and make brooch/hat adornments from them, and then realising that the black and red would work well with the yarn I was using to make hats).
And the hat with the attached glasses and antlers? From the other day? Well, I canvassed opinions from people on here and on various Facebook groups and decided that it might be better to make it a little more mainstream.
So it now has a gum nut type scrumble on it.
And these are all going to be adornments for other hats in a similar style.
This was meant to be a brooch in the red/orange MazeyPrettyThings collection, but somehow got left out when I was sewing backing fabric on them. So it is going to be sewn down to a slightly larger piece of the red and black, machine embroidered fabric.
This a dreadful photo, don't know what happened there! But there is a glittering green button in the middle of this.
And another green button on this one.
These three will probably have brooch backs sewn onto them and pinned to hats and sold together, so that they can be worn together or separately.
Please go and enjoy some other people's spaces :)

Lovely makings!
I did appreciate the antlers but I would wear a gumnut scrumble!! How nice to have some sewing machine time and yes, I do think you can think vaguely about something specific!! You can think things over. Hope this week is less fraught.
