Stressing Out With Buttons to the Rescue

So,  stressing over getting ready for my craft show, I just couldn't seem to be creative. So many things to do,  then I hit a wall.  I couldn't create anything!

Then, I thought I'd start playing around with something new,  actually, something I used to make years ago,  buttons!

Years ago,  I used to sew little tooth fairy pillows and added a covered button. They were adorable. But since I don't drag my sewing machine out very often, and u love to work with paper,  I thought,  let's give it a try!

So,  I grabbed my mod podge, my buttons and graphics,  and voila! Another sweet addition to my craft show inventory!

Hope you like!

Getting Ready For The End Of Summer

Summer is nearly over but I'm not willing to let go.  The older I get the less and less I like winter. It's not that I mind the cold,  it's the short gray days and and the early nights. I need sunshine in order to survive!

I've been working on some displays for craft shows this fall. It's been about 20 years since I did one, so I really want to do this right.

Some things about fall that I do like are the acorns, color leaves and pine cones.  So, I collected some acorns and I'm painting them to scatter on my table display. Just using nail polish! 

I'm eager to try another idea for winter... bleaching pine cones! I think they will be very pretty as table scatter for a Christmas show. I'll post how they turn out.
