Beaker Button Blog

As many of you know this week Beaker Button has been at Make It, Stitch It at Farnborough.  We had a stonkingly good time, and met some fantastic new button addicts.  It means that I haven't had time to prepare anything for today's blog, so I'm going to cheat. I've wanted to share this for a while.  Last time I showed you what the Tuesday Group did was a couple of years ago. For those of you who don't know, the Tuesday Group are a small group of ladies with learning disabilities who have taken to peg looms like ducks to water.  They brighten my Tuesday with gossip and laughter, and are frequently challenging me with what they want to make.  Between us we always manage to get their ideas to work.  Here are a few of the latest makes. The cheating part is the free coupon at the end of the post, for  one of my patterns on Ravelry here Jo with her owl Beryl's bracelet Karen with her owl Jo with her horse Beryl with her bear ...

I have a wonderful group in on a Tuesday.  They all have various learning disabilities and are all very keen on making things with peg looms, so I thought I'd share some of their work.  They're great fun to work with and really cheer up my Tuesdays.  I love the way they have no limits.  It's simply a case of translating their ideas into something workable on a peg loom, and that is expanding my knowledge. Hope you enjoy their work.
