Come Swap with Me

I've just created a Matchbox Full of Buttons Swap over on Swap-bot.

CRAFT

Brought myself a subscrption to CRAFT magazine.



It's a really cool modern mag crafting with articles, how to's, knitting patterns etc, I even found a article all about buttons!!

Buttons

Loads of buttons recently recieved from Swaps. Joy!

Buttons

Just found something to do with all my buttons at the Matha Stewart site.




I wonder if you can get Martha Stewart t-shirts?

Swaps Galore

Just can't help myself, sent off my handmade bag swap and then signed up for material square swap and tea and biscuit swap.

Received my matchbox of beads and buttons swap from Kimmie in Fort Yates, she lives on a Sioux Indian reservation, how cool is that.

I keep forgetting that I should be receiving swaps as well as sending them.

Zen and the Art of Button Arranging

There is something very calming about sorting through bottons. I could spend hours arranging buttons.

In fact I did, all I wanted was a button

for the centre of this broach but then this

happened -

Pink Purse

I need to get some smaller press studs to finish this off. The rib went a bit out of sync on the back but you can hardly notice, might try a do another one and write the pattern down. I have buttons at the ready to sew on to, seem to be a bit obsessed with buttons at the moment, started sorting my collection and putting them in 2's and 3's that go. Not sure if it's the after effects of the weekend but it felt very zen.

Lack of Knitting!

There is a serious lack of knitting on this 'knitted bog'. So to rectify this here are some knitted notebooks and cards I finished recently




The cards started life as the start of something else, I don't know what but I started something got bored and cast off. But they look cool with a couple of buttons as a card.
