My days have been filled with goodness this week . . . even Ben & Jerry got a little something from Rae in my Advent Swap box . . .

. . . and here's what I've done with the little bag of buttons . . .
My friend (& crafty guru) Lee-Anne over at Crafty Fat Cat sent me the idea a little while ago and it was so quick and easy to make. Just a basic stryofoam ball, covered it in glue, wrapped it in a layer of tissue paper, then pinned on a whole bunch of cute buttons. Simple !
Thanks Rae, for adding all this festive fun to my week.
And then this morning, our Postie delivered another parcel of goodness : - ) (much happy dancing & hand-clapping) . . .
A little while ago I was the lucky winner in a fabulous Giveaway over at 44th Street Fabric.
I have completely adored this fabric since I first spotted it. (pun intended).
(I love everything dots/stripes/gingham/hearts).
Bev is using it as the background fabric for her quilt in the Bee in my Bonnet Row Along and I was beyond excited when I won her generous giveaway.
Thanks SOoo much Bev, I promise to treasure it and use it wisely.
Wishing you a happy & blessed weekend,
xoxo
What wonderful swap and giveaway goodies! Love what you have made with the buttons, what a grand idea.

Polka dots are my favorite, that's a good one. It's so fun to win. I love your cute button ornament, what a cleaver easy and fun thing to make. Your dogs are so cute too, Ben and Jerry, love the names. I have two Boston Terrier dogs Buster and Betty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol - polka dots are high on my list of favourite things too!

Your Christmas tree button decoration is sweet, my son made one like it at school but using sequence instead of buttons.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea too - a fabulous glitterball!

You have some lovely goodies there! And what a great idea for the buttons...I'll have to remember that one. I enjoy collecting buttons and like to find projects for them.

It's a perfect project for using up buttons. A friend made one for her Easter tree using pastel shades of buttons and it's oh-so-cute too.
