Just a few I brought back from around the world. I lost the original hat I bought in the UK while travelling, however, I managed to buy a similar one just recently ready for our NZ winter. I do not wear the pins any longer, these are here purely for display.
Le lac d'Hourtin et de Carcans est l'un des plus grands lacs naturels de France. Les habitants de la commune d'Hourtin, au nord, l'appellent le lac d'Hourtin, et les habitants de la commune de Carcans, au sud, l'appellent le lac de Carcans.
Le lac s'étend du nord au sud, parallèlement à la côte de l'océan Atlantique, sur une longueur maximale de 18 km pour une largeur maximale de 5 km, et fait partie des grands lacs landais. Il communique avec l'étang de Lacanau par le canal des Étangs. C'est le plus grand lac naturel d'eau douce de France avec une superficie de 5.800 hectares, égale en toutes saisons. Ses rives dunaires ont été fixées par des plantations de pins au cours du XIXème siècle.
When I began looking at the dressmaking pins I had I found there were different types. Bead heads, flat heads and these roundheads were my favourites. Although a rogue flat head did creep in to the photo. HMM everyone.
This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. All the sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, including the flowers. The flowers are vintage French metal sequins from the 1930s in this bauble, so they are rare. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flower sequins until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, and because it is a simple pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.

I saw this man on the other side of the road and just had to take his photo.
