Comment by claire April 7, 2008 @ 3:12 pmThanks so much for sharing, those are adorable. And I’m pretty ready for cherry-picking season already. Maybe making a pair or two of these will tide me over until then.

They are delicate but I wouldn’t dare to wear them. I think I could use them as accessories om my bag.
