A great gift of quality wool came my way recently,
so I am trying to be crafty and make some button
embellished hearts that can be used a pincushions or key fobs.
Here is what they are supposed to look like:
So far, here are what mine are looking like.
A perfect plan, in place for a road trip, fell
in a bit as I stitched up all the buttons I had
in just a few hours.
That lead to a nice afternoon, sorting buttons!
We quilters and crafters always seem to have
lots of buttons.
I also found a very weird
assortment of items in my big button box.
Here is the list:
a belt buckle
a rod for permanents
2 red 1/2" pom poms
1 larger gold trimmed pom pom
3 keys, one being a windup key
a pinch shower rod clip
a drapery clip, very sharp
1 fresh water pearl
2 black grosgrain shoe bows
1 push-in curtain tie back
3 1/2" ribbon roses
1 blue game piece
1 metal feather charm
1 3/8" machine screw
1 elastic eyeglass older
I seem to be a very eclectic collector!
The harvest was successful and
I can move on with my stitching.
