- Having lots of fun with the February prompt for Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery which is to make wearable slow stitch items.
This video shares a tutorial for how to make a micro mosaic scrap fabric butterfly brooch with tulle, hand dyed yarn and metallic thread embellished wings, and an ort bead body.
It’s an easy slow stitch project to make good use of those tiny fabric scraps you don’t want to throw away. The butterfly could slso be used as a journal or other embellishment.
With thanks to @roxycreations679 and @roxycreationsbysarah for hosting the wonderful Roxy projects and allowing us to all join in and share. You’re national (well international) stitching treasures ❤️💚🤍💙

I’m so sorry someone would have said something unkind to you - I soooo appreciate all your videos. I figured that with what your husband was going through, you had to be feeling some stress, but you always sound so calm and cheerful. I never noticed anything amiss with your nails, but please do take care of yourself in these stressful times. You seem as one who thinks of everyone else first . Again, thank you! ❤
Thank you dear Betty for your kindness. I think we all have our trials and worries at times and I am so grateful for the kindness and care of so many in our stitching community including you. You really all do mean so very much to me! cheers, Christine
What a lovely kindness Betty. We need to raise up when those are feeling challenged. ❤❤
I just happened on to your channel and am loving it, very inspirational!! As far as mean comments go, mean people have small minds and I doubt there is any room for creativity, you definitely do not have that problem. Keep going and never mind the naughty people, they are their own problem. Thanks for sharing, love the butterfly!!
Thanks so much - I appreciate your kind words and support. It’s great to welcome you to my virtual craft room - pull up a seat army craft table and I look forward to getting to know you and your creations. We have a little Facebook group called Slow Stitchin Friends in case you want to stop by there too 🤗 Happy new year to you and yours 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Hermosa 🦋 Muchas gracias por compartir
Thank you 💙💛
I thought I was the only one that kept tiny scrap pieces in jars! I feel like I have found a kindred spirit, thank you for the validation LOL I've watched many of your videos and enjoy your projects very much. Cheers from California ❤
Oh Teresa we are most definitely kindred spirits! I thought of you this evening as I tidied away some little scraps from my house shaped box into a jar 🤗 cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
I love your butterfly! 💜❤💙💛💚
Thanks so much Judy - such a fun little project 🤗
❤ fabulous idea❤❤❤
Thanks Debra - happy with how this worked out 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Your presentation is beautiful and please ignore negative mean people 🥰❤️
Thank you Cindy - I am so grateful for all the kind and encouraging folks like you . I hope you are having a wonderful week💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Hello from North Carolina USA. I look forward to watching all of your vlogs. Your ideas are so beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much Bunnie ☀️Really appreciate you kind comment and lovely to have stitchy friends across the globe 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
So cute Christine! Thanks for sharing. Have to go and watch your ort ball video now, somehow I missed that one😀
Thank you my friend - the ort balls are addictive! 💙🧵🤗
That’s a beautiful project! I love how organised your crafty work area is - all the pots and jars of treasure!
With a lot of your ort bead projects, I can’t help but imagine them created in a series or string to hang of a Christmas’s tree -or the larger pieces using them hung as a garland in a sunny spot. Such a good way to have waste free creativity!
(Why would someone comment on your nails? They’re obviously focussing on the wrong things! As a fellow anxiety sufferer, my nails are never pretty - but I’m always pleased with what they help me create. That’s the important thing I think.)
I laughed when you said my work area is organised - if often looks like a craft room has exploded 😆 Love your ort bead ideas. And love that we can openly share the anxiety we experience and the benefits crafting provides. And kindness attracts more kindness too. Cheers my friend, Christine 💙🧵🪡
@@createandcraftwithchristine I’ll bet it’s a lot more organised than my crafting supplies! Have a good weekend
Can't wait to see this!!!
Thanks for watching Lori 💙🧵🪡
Isn't it fun to find ways to use up all the bits we have? I love your mosaic butterfly; a great way to use all those teeny tiny bits. Another great way to use ort beads, too. By the way, anyone focused on someone's nails is missing the point of stitching videos...😊. Keeping good thoughts for those in the way of potential fires. I live in a part of the U.S. that faces those every summer, so know only too well the stress and anxiety they pose. Hope you have an stress-free day. Hugs to you and yours.
Thank you my lovely friend - you’re one of the wonderful people that encourage and keep me sharing (and you also inspire with your ideas too!). I’m really sorry that you have to go through the awful stress of bushfire threat. It seems the threats are growing every year. Our state, as well as battling some bushfires, has also had a major loss of power infrastructure after damaging winds and a storm yesterday so there will be lots ofrestoration work to get some areas back with power. Thinking of all those folks too. Take care my friend - it must be strange for you to think of us in the heat of summer while things are no doubt still chilly where you are. 💙
Hi Christine, your butterfly is gorgeous, and ort balls, fabulous idea.
You and me both with finger nails, 🤗😜😊
Thanks Sue - i do love making ort beads and using them. And thanks for letting me know I’m not alone 💛
Beautiful! Thank you!
Thanks so much - have fun making one 🤗 cheers, Christine
Hi Christine I always enjoy your videos, your voice is so relaxing ☺️
Thank you so much Faye - you’ve made my day 💙🧵🪡
This is such a great idea .i do hv lots of these ORT in my jar just staring at me .😅😅😅
A perfect use for those ever growing orts 🤗 cheers, Christine
What a lovely project Christine. I'm finally back on board with the wonderful slow stitch world into some kind of normality after four huge losses with the first as you know being mum. It's so lovely to hear your beautiful voice again and watching your lovely videos with new creations and the meditative gracefulness of slow stitch.
Thankyou Christine. You're always very calming ❤❤❤
So sorry you have had so much loss in your life Melinda. May slow stitch bring you restorative times and the little joys of creating. 💛☀️
@@createandcraftwithchristine thankyou Christine it's lovely to be back ❤️❤️❤️
Another genius idea Christine, such a beautiful way to use all these bits and bobs, clever girl! I remember your slow-stitched snail sign too :)
Thanks Annie - I love when I can create something from the unloved bits and pieces that would otherwise be in the bin. A bit like the incredible untangling of those vintage threads that you did. Giving new life to the abandoned and unloved 💙 cheers, Christine
Pretty cute!
Thank you and happy to have received you email 💙🧵🪡
I love your butterfly ❤ 🦋 I was also impressed with your snail, so I started cutting my scraps into little triangles back then , so when I saw you butterfly today I knew I had to have a go , I even had a go at the ort beads today , so thanks to you I am now the proud owner of a lovely butterfly brooch !!!! Thank you Christine xx
Oh wow Gillian - this makes me so very happy! I love it when people jump in and make something. So thank you for bringing a big smile to my face 🤗💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Beautiful butterfly Christine ❤
Thank you dear Karen 💙🧵🪡
❤❤😊😊 Too cool, another great idea for a name tag for the guild. 😊😊 I'm constantly learning from you all the time. Thank you 😊😊❤❤
That you - would love the idea of these as a guild name tag! So pleased we can share ideas 💙🧵🪡
Beautiful butterfly great idea like the use of the ort beads for the body, now i know what to use some of my many tiny scraps for, thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks Jan - I’m happy this has given new inspiration for using tiny scraps and our ort beads too. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
Christine your butterfly is lovely! It is fascinating what you are able to create with bits that normally get tossed. Thank you for sharing your techniques and creativity.
Thank you Sharon - I love giving new life to the potentially unloved that may otherwise end up in the bin 💙🧵🪡
Really lovely. Thanks for sharing your creativity 😊❤
Thank you my friend - love sharing my creative adventures. Cheers, Christine

Thank you so much! Great to have you here and you’re very sweet 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Your butterfly is beautiful! Thank you so much for being so thoughtful to share your projects with us. Have a great day. ❤
Thank you Jo - it is a pleasure to share inspiration and projects as I know my stitching and the community here brings me so much joy 💙🧵🪡
Adorable!!! Won’t it look sweet on a bag !
Thanks Cathie - and I think you’re right that this would look super clipped to a bag 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Love this broach- of course I’m a butterfly girl. But you have given me the lightbulb I need! I wear hand braces for carpel tunnel, pretty much 24/7 and have been wanting a way to add a removal piece of decoration. It was adding your ort balls that my flash of inspiration hit- now to go play
Sorry to hear you have to deal with carpal tunnel syndrome. Happy if this idea can be adapted by you to add some cheer to your day 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
Wow beautiful😮
Thank you so much 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
I just love your butterfly!🦋 TFS… have a great day 😊
Thank you Beverly - I’m happy you love the butterfly 💙🧵🪡
Love the butterfly! 🦋
I don’t know why people think they have a right to be judge mental or criticize others (re your nails). They have no idea what you’ve been through recently. ❤🤗
Hugs, M
Thank you my friend - I love how supportive and encouraging our stitchy community is. 💙🧵🪡
@@createandcraftwithchristine 🤗❤️🤗❤️
Love your butterfly thanks for the idea.
Thanks Barbara - happy that you love this little creation and hope you enjoy making one too. Cheers, Christine
Lovely!
Thank you Elizabeth - I had a lot of fun making this colourful little friend. Cheers, Christine
Another lovely quick beautiful project, thanks Christine ❤
Thank you Joanne 💙🧵🪡
The story about Traevis (did I spell it right) reminded me of when my twins were little. They were in and out of their little wading pool when suddenly Moe's little dog Spot fell in the pool! (Spot, the pup, went everywhere Moe did.) Imagine my horror as I screamed and dived into the pool to save Spot. Then, imagine my chagrin when I held him aloft and remembered that Spot was just a stuffed animal. sigh...
I have such a visual of this! So happy all was good in the end 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
How do you keep all the triangles from falling off? When I glue and stitch some little pieces fall off.
Hi Lori - have you put a piece of tulle over the top of the little pieces and then stitched into that? Cheers, Christine
Neat idea for tiny scrapes🤔 RUclips waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸
Thanks so much Lisa 🤗
Oh! Some people can be sooooo petty! Don't even give it a mind!
Thanks 💙🧵🪡
I am new to your channel. your butterfly is beautiful and I look forward to seeing what else you make. P.S your volume was very low and I struggled to hear you.
Hi Mandy - thank you. Apologies if the sounds was challenging for you. Sometimes I think it is RUclips play back and not the video itself. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
To the person who made the comment……..look in the mirror! So sorry someone is so distereesd they have to pick on others. Take care of yourself….💐
Thank you - the overwhelming majority of people in our stitchy communities are the most lovely people and for that I am so grateful 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine
