A Button Waltz…

Hello Friends! It’s the 17th, and that means that it’s time for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz… and this month’s theme is…

Buttons! You all know how much I love buttons, right? *LOVE* them.

So how could I not dance along? I am telling you, I very nearly missed this one. We’ve been doing some small renos around our place, and it’s eaten up all my time for the past few weeks, so I haven’t been nearly as crafty as I’d like. But I made sure I carved out some time for this one!

Bless my mother in law’s soul… she loved buttons years ago… so she’s held onto every one she’s ever met. And now she is so generous and kind to allow me to rummage through them to craft with.

Check out this awesome little one here:

I also used this week’s sketch from Waltzingmouse for inspiration!

Alright, time to put on my dancing shoes!
