I spent yesterday evening embellishing the crocheted butterflies that I had made for the bag:
Stitching on beads and buttons brought the butterflies to life:
The next step will be to connect everything with chain stitches, and soon, the butterfly bag will be done!
:D Butterfly hugs,

The possibilities are really endless, Robin :)
Depending on your yarn or thread and the combination of buttons and beads, there are an infinite ‘flutter’ of butterflies!
Ah, so much fun…..

Thank you so much, Pat! I found it captivating to work on the butterflies. As I added the beads and buttons, they ‘came to life’ for me…..
it was really a neat experience!

Ah, Mirjam, thank you so much! For me, butterflies are a kind of window into the realm of creativity and healing. I am grieving the death of my beloved Mum (Jim’s mother, but also a treasure to me) and so, working on the butterflies made my heart sing, as somehow, they were a connection to her……
It was very contemplative and delight filled to ‘play with the butterflies’!
They are a metaphor and a symbol of transformation, so it makes sense that they hold so much positive energy!
