Beautiful buttons!

I have to thank my sister-in-law Rachel from Dreaming of the Country http://vicarswifeintraining.blogspot.co.uk/  for the inspiration for this present for my neice's 11th birthday present.

I have always written Ambers name with a large lower case 'a' rather than a capital 'A' so I wanted to use this for her cushion - 5 weeks of sewing on buttons later a skinny capital 'A' may have been a better plan!!!!

Hindsight is a great thing!

The buttons were a mix called 'wake me up before you go go' from Felted Fancies Supplies, a facebook shop that supplies beautiful ribbons, buttons and felt.

Now just to wrap it and send it to her - Just hoping she likes it!!!!

All quiet on the blogging front!!

Hi , it has been a while since my last post. I am currently upto my eyes with projects on the go all over the place -  I am in the middle of a Gruffalo story sack for playgroup, an initial cushion for my neice's birthday in April - thanks to Rachel  http://vicarswifeintraining.blogspot.co.uk/ for the idea - just a little late with that one!, organising a activity afternoon for the end of term, planning Rebecca's birthday party - all things Moshi and sorting out holiday bible club for July! the good news is that I will have lots to blog about soon, the bad news is they all have to be done by the summer - or before!!!
I have to confess I have  bought cards for the June birthdays - and paying for them reminded me as to why I started making cards in the first place!
So back to work then!!
