Buttons

January 26, 2008

My family can be quite interesting sometimes. My mother has now made it public that she's holding my buttons hostage. Buttons are things to be taken very seriously. Yesterday, when I was avoiding sewing zippers, I felt like making it clear that we're not talking about buttons in general but Buttons that are too pretty to be used and that make me feel like a princess. I don't care about diamonds, I just need buttons. Obviously I couldn't take pictures of the buttons held hostage, so I took pictures of my existing treasures. (I should have skipped eating dinner, now the last pictures on the left taken after dinner are much darker than the others...)


I did manage to sew the zippers in the end. New linen pouches will eventually end up in the shop & blog. Now I need to go cut some cover boards.... that means that new books are in the making too.

Thanks to all of you who popped in to read Karen's interview! I hope we'll be seeing each others later!
