Beads and buttons
I really didn’t spend very much money at MQX last week, but what I did do was to splurge on some jewelry:
As with a lot of things, this is so much prettier in real life. I wonder if taking a picture of it on a dark background would be better? Or maybe seeing what it looks like on me would be better?

And this one (which has matching earrings):
And some buttons:
There are actually 8 of those gorgeous handmade glass button. Haven’t got the slightest clue as to what I’m going to do with them, but I’ll have to find something now, won’t I?
I got all of this pretty stuff from a place called We Got the Buttons
You should go visit her website — she has some interesting information about how she actually makes the buttons.
There aren’t actually any buttons for sale on her website — the best way to use her gorgeous buttons is to ask her to make CUSTOM buttons. Send her a swatch of your fabric, tell her what size, shape and color, and she’ll make buttons to match!
I have some work to do today, but I’m also bound and determined to finish the pebbling on the red wholecloth.
First stop, though, is a trip the cough syrup bottle. I’m feeling better, but I’m hearing horror stories from people that this crud lasts weeks. Ugh.
More later!
