I made these for 2 of my friends who are starting their first year of teaching on Tuesday :) They'll go perfect in their classrooms!
atc for "Wacky" swap. i was given 6 found objects and had to make an atc with each one. the object for this one was a black button that accidently broke enroute to my house via USPS. i thought it was more fun and challenging that it was broken.
A Lovely hand made Glass Button my sister gave me for a birthday years ago. I love it but have not decided where to use it yet!
I came across these further out on the board walk. Water is still to deep for anything to happen. managed to get a blue heron foraging and it looked like he was sitting on the water like a goose. They are wading birds and he was in the shallow water.
This is another button from my vintage collection. It's well over a hundred years old dating back to the 1900s. The little waistcoat button behind it was thrown in as a gift and I love it. The carnelian bead is just there for a bit of extra colour really. :)

Silk Button Galls, my favourite galls, are created by the Silk Button Gall Wasp (Neuroterus numismalis)!
Neuroterus numismalis is a gall wasp that has two generations per year. One being sexual and the other agamic (all female and needs no male to reproduce). The sexual generation causes Blister Galls on Oak leaves. Whereas the agamic generation causes Silk Button Galls on the underside of Oak leaves. This gall wasp is common and widespread in Britain.
The Silk Button Galls are abundant on the underside of the Oak leaves and can reach 3 mm across. This gall holds the agamic generation and looks like a thick, rolled edge disk with a deep central pit and gold hairs, there is no mark on the top of the leaf. It is a single cell gall holding one wasp and can be seen from August to October, until the leaves fall in autumn. The wasp larva will mature in August but remain in the gall on the ground throughout the winter, emerging the following year from February to April.

HMM to all.
The Eastern Tiger Yellow Swallowtail is a common summertime visitor to our yard. This one has lost a piece of a its tail wing tip, I so wanted to Photoshop it in, but decided that wouldn't be "honest." Swallowtails live for about two weeks and can get ragged looking pretty quickly.
Why would a button be bittersweet? Well, because my 16-year old daughter, Anna, can't work buttons. Sometimes the things I take for granted hit me in the gut. I'm pretty far down this path of mothering a child with special needs, but there are still milestones that sting. It can be something simple like knowing other girls her age are wearing makeup (Anna has no interest) or dating (Anna desperately wants a boyfriend) to the bigger things like getting a driver's license (that won't ever happen) or going to junior prom (Anna should be in 11th grade this year but we had her repeat kindergarten). I remind myself of the progress she's making and that she is on her own timeline, but when I saw this week's theme... "Buttons and Bows"... I got a pang. She can't work a button, she doesn't have the fine motor control, so for me, the button is bittersweet.
Agaricus bisporus, commonly known as the Button mushroom, is the most widely cultivated mushroom in the world.
After my last posting I missed a button from my dress. Yesterday I found it, so
I lost a button,
A little silver button,
So I looked for my button
Most everywhere.
I found my button,
My gold rimmed button,
So I sewed on my button
Most firmly there.
Just to make you smile!
With apologies to AAMilne.
