who's got the button?
So I forgot/didn't have time/didn't feel like doing a 52 week shot last week.
You'll live.

I have made a birthday gift for my sister in law. I’ve glued some buttons on a “deep edge frame” and put a bit of lace on it. The lace belonged to my sister in laws grandmother.

After what seemed like a very long wait, we got Fairyland mail on Tuesday!
Her name is Pixie (It is what my husband calls all my dolls! Plus she's the perfect little Pixie) She is a Fairyland Realpuki Soso, in tan.
Button was very happy to find a friend her own size to play with, and wasted no time in introducing herself. All I could hear all day was the tinkling sound of little giggles coming from the doll shelf :)

Today will be one of my rare no-neckwear days. I have not worn this in awhile, but once every few weeks or so I do like to try the buttoned up look. I work in the morning and plan to meet with a friend for a late lunch. With the cold weather and early darkness of the season I do not have any other plans so I will probably have a relaxing evening at home. I like the contrasting white collar on this black shirt. I have an all-black shirt on order and look forward to some outfit combinations with it soon.

A friend is like a four leaf clover, hard to find, lucky to have. I truly Bless to have Flickr friends.

this was an attempt to make a quilt like this one: flickr.com/photos/eggmoney/400373863/ , mine doesn't look like hers which really worried me at first, the buttons were an afterthought in place of quilting stitching and I love them, in the end I'm happy with it
Rob gave me an idea for the connections challenge yesterday but I was unable to get it due to lack of time. This is one of the pics I got yesterday while taking my first 52 week project photo.
I didn't think of the idea until I saw Shannon's photo. Thank you lots Shan :)

I think this is a type of Agaricus Bisporus or commonly known as button mushroom.
You'll find this aplenty if you do a bit of hiking in New Zealand.
They taste yummy on pizzas by the way.

A little bit about the history of buttons:
Buttons and button-like objects used as ornaments or seals rather than fasteners have been discovered in the Indus Valley Civilization during its Kot Yaman phase (c. 2800–2600 BCE)[1] as well as Bronze Age sites in China (c. 2000–1500 BCE), and Ancient Rome.
Buttons made from seashell were used in the Indus Valley Civilization for ornamental purposes by 2000 BCE.[2] Some buttons were carved into geometric shapes and had holes pierced into them so that they could be attached to clothing with thread.[2] Ian McNeil (1990) holds that: "The button, in fact, was originally used more as an ornament than as a fastening, the earliest known being found at Mohenjo-daro in the Indus Valley. It is made of a curved shell and about 5000 years old."[3]
Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[4] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe. (Wiki)
