I loved the heart shaped buttons I bought recently at a craft fair... and wanted more... so I made my own. They worked out costing me $1.16 each to make... compared to $4-5 each at the fair. SCORE. I made the green ones a bit thin... live and learn. I've not used this Sculpting/bake-it in the oven stuff before.
AND I know you are all just dying to see the finished Christmas Tree! So... there it is! No Cross or Angel on the top either! I went for a big bow! TOTALLY CHOICE. I'm really proud of my tree.
Today... well I shall try to do some of that weeding... and some sewing too.... and the spare bedroom needs tidying up AGAIN.. it is the 'dumping ground' in this house. *sigh*
ONWARD...
I went to Weight Watchers this morning... had a big gain. That's all I have to say about that. EXCEPT... at least I went?
End of Day: it's been a nice afternoon.. I sunbathed, then the kids and I visited my aunt.. pleasant evening too... time to sign off. nite nite.
Yep, you're a clever tart alright. The buttons are gorgeous! Tree is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteyouve got your tree up already?
ReplyDeletenow i feel like i need to get a move on....
Loving the buttons - you're such a talented tart!! Z xx
ReplyDeleteWOW You cannot get more clever than that. TOTALLY handmade bags, then. So special! You really rock at crafts.
ReplyDeleteI thought the white thing underneath it was your DOG! LOL! I need glasses!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you make the buttons out of?
Nice tree! Are you sure you have finished? I can still see some green! It really does look good, though, and kudos on thinking of a bow instead of an angel or star. Very original and it really works!
ReplyDeleteNice buttons, too. That's a great idea! Imagine what else you can make....
That tree sure is looking good :) I am going to be busy when I get home doing ours and xmas shopping!!! No idea about gifts at all yet..LOL. You have done so well :)
ReplyDeleteYou ARE a clever tart. Very awesome.

Enjoy your day. Tidying dump rooms is good for the soul!
A big gain can be a quick loss. Enough said about that. Love the blue tree and very clever of you to make your own buttons.
ReplyDeleteJust a warning Chris - somehow I can read all private blogs without logging in????? Thouoght I would let you know because of Pepsi.
ReplyDeleteI just finished cleaning up my spareroom and came on here for a break and a sit down.... and you mention your spareroom is a dumping ground.....snap!!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI love your tree and the blue colours.
I didn't even know you could buy your own stuff to make buttons and bake them!!! They are fantastic!
Loving the tree.... looking fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBugger about the gain but yes like you said - at least you went and still weighed in!
Yup, you went and deserve a hug pat on the back for that.
ReplyDeleteRemember, WW is for life, not just for Christmas!!
Nice, but that's a lot of stuff on that tree. Love your buttons too.

Tree decorator and button maker added to your resume...you are indeed a clever tart.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty tree girl and don't worry about the weight gain - you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit it.
Lovely tree indeed. And look at you making your own buttons now. Just what can't you do? Sorry to hear about the gain, next week will be better. Enjoy that sunshine.
