Today has been a Terrific Tuesday ... why ? Well apart from being the first Tuesday in November and a day when a little old horse race called The Melbourne Cup stops a nation ... I also made some fun "easy as" fabric buttons :)
Using a simple button kit it really was as "easy as" 1, 2, 3 to make these adorable fabric covered buttons (with absolutely no sewing skills required ;)
Fabrics shown are from my Perfect Pink Collection and include : (from top)
Disco Dots - Hot Pink
Country Checks
and
Spring Blossoms
I hope you had a Terrific Tuesday too, and if you placed a bet on The Melbourne Cup, I hope you backed a winner!
For fabric info please see my Flickr Profile

Last step was to fit some door controls. I pushed out the alloy plate which was glued over the old door control hole and installed the emergency button I think from 179 front door.
Spring is almost here! I took a break from crafty photography, and hunkered down for the winter with various projects. It also encouraged me to sift through my craft materials.
A few years ago, I was handed a grocery bag worth of buttons (I love it when crafters think of me when they declutter). Around the same time I went to a vintage fair and bought the chipmunk and bunny cards. I liked the buttons on them, but I was mostly drawn to the cute animals. These were probably old cards that the vender repurposed to make the buttons more distinctive? If so, it worked!
The buttons are mostly Domcord, Streamline, Tiffany and Lady Fashion.
I did a lot of thinking this winter about how to use up all these up. I have lots of ideas, but it will probably take me years.

Some of my collection of pearl buttons - I knew there was a good reason for keeping them!
This is the photo Alien Ted took. Much better.
I think my favorite part is my handwriting. I wrote on the fabric and then embroidered over it. Kinda made me feel a tiny bit famous and made the piece a little more personal and from the soul.
And the balls. That part is cool, too.

Some of the things I'm taking to PAX 2009: buttons, chapbooks, and the very few copies I have on hand of Sunken Treasure, Happiest Days of our Lives, and Dancing Barefoot. Not seen in this picture: a few paperback copies of Just A Geek.

Apologies for my late upload for yesterday's challenge. My wife and I had a fabulous Spa Day yesterday - from 10:00 am until 5 pm we were pampered from the minute we arrived until our departure and then en route home we stopped for dinner. What a day - only problem was I'm afraid I didn't get a chance to look at our upload to Flickr!
So, catch up this afternoon .... the little buttons and hearts are a decoration hanging from one of the doors in our kitchen.
Our daily Challenge - BUTTONS ......

Buttons tends to her kitten - although feral, Buttons was a very affectionate cat, and a very caring and conscientious mother. They lived in the gardens of the hotel we were staying at, but did not really belong to the hotel. I think one of the cleaners fed her occasionally, but mostly they were on their own.

I joined Cindy Wimmer's Button Swap and Blog Hop and got paired up with beadmaker Sue Kennedy. And here's what she sent me: a pretty glass button she made herself, a rustic fish button, a ceramic blue flower made by Lisa Peters, and the most cute little Scottie button. I love them all!!

I've made these as stocking fillers for my daughter. I must love her lots to part with my vintage buttons!
You've got me pushing imaginary buttons
Step away from me lover, away from me lover
You got me counting imaginary school children
Get away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I can see that my carpet is animated
Walk away from me lover, away from me lover
Yes I see you open wounds in everyone I've dated
Away from me lover, get away from me lover
This is a song by Sia. She is one of my favourite artists and I have decided to use some of the titles of her songs to challenge myself each week. I am going to write a list of song titles and come up with a photo each week that best represents one song title. It can be literally or metaphorically. This is the first song caled 'Buttons'. I'm not that impressed by it but its a start...yay!
I was snooping through some old boxes at my Dad's this past weekend, and came across several jars of buttons that my Mom had been collecting. She had organized them by colour scheme.
I'm going to start using them in my sewing projects. As I sorted through the buttons, I realized that my mother must have handled each one similarly.
See Blatherings today.
