And after the button threading bonanza on Saturday.....I am still at it...and yes they are of the 4 hole variety....and something that you may have worked out for yourselves....I have a bit of a button fetish I fear... and can't bear for them not to be threaded....they look naked somehow. These gorgeous papers caught my eye at Simply Create on Saturday......just had to have them....a girl deserves a little treat after all that button threading don't you think and how could I resist my favourite colour combo of the moment.....browns and blues....but I've turned over a new leaf.....got right in there and started chopping them up...it was difficult and had me out in a bit of a sweat but there is a new rule in the cubbyhole "no more stashing away....taking out to stroke and admire occasionally".....it's for using or else I will never work my way through the paper mountain.
Off for our morning stroll and I can't believe the weather here....it's supposed to be flaming June...the sun is supposed to be shining....it's supposed to be warm and toasty instead it's brass monkey weather...feels more like October....what happened....did I miss summer......have just looked out my cosy winter fleece and may even be grabbing my scarf on the way out the door.
A big thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday on the little sewing tidy....but as I said to the girls on Saturday....it isn't hard to be creative when you are working with such fabulous products from Hero Arts...Tim Holtz and Ranger.

Edited to add: by the time it's taken me to have a shower....the wind has dropped.....the sky has cleared and the sun is out.....make up your mind Mr Weather
