THE BUZZ FROM THE HIVE

A B C........696

 

I finished up the alphabet for my Sampler in a Jar last night. This idea was from Lori Holt and I thought it would be fun to do a few buttons at a time with motifs and such. I decided to work on the alphabet last weekend using a different font for each letter. I got the majority of the alphabets from the book Minuscales & Majuscules by Valerie Lejeune. I believe it is out of print, but a wonderful resource if you stumble across a copy.


 Here are the last of the letter:

Here is the whole alphabet:


 Here are the motifs so far:

 

Here is the jar where they reside...gifted to me by my friend, Lisa:

 

Gotta run....my brother and SIL arrive today for the weekend and have some tidying to do. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
 

Thanks for stopping by and your "twisted threads" of friendship!

    Congratulations on finishing the entire alphabet, Stasi! This is such a cute idea and I love the motifs that you've already added, too. I'm sure each one has a special meaning for you! Enjoy your time with your brother and sister-in-law ♥

    This is such a great idea and your buttons are so cute. The lid on your jar is just darling too! I think I saw that Brenda (Brenda and the serial starter) was also doing a jar but hers were in red.
