I've been doodling ideas for awhile now for a little project I have coming up... this afternoon we finally got some sunshine so I sat down at a sunny table and crafted them up. These are all very small hoops - I used some dark blue corduroy from some pants I'm not digging anymore...
I have piles of old mother-of-pearl buttons which I finally used for this menorah:
I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible, using very basic stitches and only one color of thread:
I'm kind of liking them... what do you think? :)

I really like them! I like the color choices and the simplicity, and they look especially nice as a group. Well done!
i absolutely love them! simple & beautiful!
Pretty!
Very cute. I love the simplicity, too!
Gorgeous! I love the stitching on a textured fabric. Beautiful!
And I love the menorah - what an awesome idea! It would be fun to make one sans button flames and then add a button each day during Hanukkah ...
Beautiful work, as always, Flor! :)
They look very elegant...and the colours work well together..brilliant
I really love the white on black, these are fantastic, I also love all the things you're doing with the mini hoops, so fun!
Love, love, lovely!
They're so beautiful! The cord texture is just perfect, and I love how you've used different thread thicknesses for the snowflakes, but still kept the stitches really simple.
Is also good to see holiday-themed projects which aren't red, green, gold or in any way sparkly!
Very cool ideas! I love the snowflakes!
Very good idea, I like them a lot! The simplicity is beautiful!
I really like them - I love subtle holiday decorations.
I love the contrast of the dark fabric and light thread. It is bold and subtle at the same time. The snowflakes are my favorite.
Brilliant! I posted a link to your post on my blog this morning. I hope it brings you a few extra clicks.

I love the menorah! Awesome!
Ohh, how beautiful!
I like these a lot! I like the simplicity and the mother of pearl buttons on the menorah is just perfect. You're so thrifty to recycle those cords.

I especially love the snowflakes {although, they're all great, don't get me wrong!}. And I love the cord material - the combination just really reminds me of being a kid & playing out in the snow...so sweet & inspiring!
I love them, and I love your blog, just stumbled across it today, it's gorgeous!
Lovely work!
Omg I love them. What a wonderful idea.
i feel inspired!
I love them -- I always liked the combination of blue and white for the holidays, and of course one can never have too many buttons.
You've definitely given me some ideas.
digging big time! found your blog by way of A LITTLE SUSSY.
Very nice! First time I see a craft idea for a Jewish holiday! Just wondering where did you get those nice vintage swatchportraits??
