{button delivery!}

I love buttons and all trims for that matter. But, buttons...they're my current obsession. And though, I've been scouring for perfectly colored vintage buttons - I couldn't resist when I saw this little pack to create-your-own. Make my own? Why, yes! They could be the perfect embellishment to my homemade pillows and other such delights.

Taking a survey of all my projects, overwhelmed me a bit. I therefore, spent some time working my hands at some of my favorite crafts. Seems like I barely made a dent, but I did have fun.

Happy Monday

{new venture...}

I've started a new hobby: jewelry making. I've wanted to do this for so long. Why should I wait any longer?! I went down, picked up my tools and went to work. {Mind you, it has only been a week since I started, but I LOVE it!} Maybe I should take a class, but I usually prefer to learn on my own.
Here are some of my recent creations....

Please don't judge the work by the quality of the picture. :) Either way, it's been so much fun coming up with my own creations and working with the wire, etc. In the above creations I used swarovski crystals, frshwater pearls, repurposed beads from an old bracelet and vintage buttons. I've already decided my favorite materials and love that every day I have a new thought pop into my head.

What do you think?!
