Felt, yarn and beads

Last night I had some beading and wrapping fun on a felt cord that I had made a while ago.  It was fun to randomly wrap various yarns around the felt cord and then add various beads wherever I felt like they'd look good.  This was a long cord, so I could wrap it several times.  It doesn't need a clasp, it can be easily pulled overhead.  
I also completed two cuff bracelets by adding a button hole with my new sewing machine (after some practice) and Caribou antler buttons.  I love these buttons.  They were made by a local couple who find antlers (they are not hunters) and cut them into buttons.  They are expensive, but worth it, I think.  I also made another woven wire piece which I attached to a small piece of felt and added a pin to make a very nice original one of a kind brooch.  
            The landscaping continues.  We accomplished a lot yesterday, but there is still a lot to do.  We were able to have lunch out on our new deck yesterday.  Heaven!
