Day 339-- I am thankful for the baby who stretched my perfect, beautiful, little belly button into a strange, diagonal, half-in-half-out double navel curiousity.
I am also thankful for the wisdom to know that some day I will miss this funny little belly the way I now miss my old, culturally "perfect" belly.
I didn't edit out any of my stretch marks, because that would have defeated the purpose of this photo altogether. You can even see the one that cuts through my stretched-out birthmark. And yet, I really like this.
This button placement certainly seems odd to me (I don't think I'll EVER button it) but I do love the button that I chose and the little loop is pretty cute. It can just always stay open. No problem.
Really, I have a few other bones to pick with the pattern too, from the too-short length to the fact that the placket is supposed to be made REALLY long and then sewn partway shut (??) to the unfinished seams on the inside (I made some of them into French seams to at least cut down on the raw edges a little bit).
And please don't pay attention to the poor quality of my bias-tape-sewing there. That part was done about 4 years ago, when I'd really not done much sewing at all.
I made this tote bag using some durable 100% cotton drill fabric. I have painstakingly sewn each vintage button on with my own two hands :o)
This bag is available in my mintd.com store. For more information, please see my profile.
JB heading through Les Combes during FP2 at Spa Francorchamps. I hope he saw me waving my pink T shirt through the gap in the fence on Eau Rouge during the race as he went past. Cheering him on all the way. Pink shirt in memory of John Button.

Sugar cookie topped with colorful chocolate buttons. They are held in place with royal icing and the bow is fondant.
Center the felt over the hole and glue it on the backside. Then clip the felt around the outer edge so you can fold it over.

Because I never tire of taking pictures of my button shelf and because I reorganized it a bit.
I've got an antique mirror hanging on the wall beside it just because.
The shelf was build by my great grandfather. Repainted by me, Summer 2010.
