I completely adore these stockings:
And these ornaments:
And I want the mittens this snowman is wearing!
I've decided that I absolutely HAVE TO come up with ways to use my embarassingly HUGE button collection. Last night I spent quite a while surfing the Internet for ideas. I made my first button bracelet using this great tutorial by Creative Kismet.
Her tutorial is GREAT with extremely clear instructions. Trust her though when she says to apply glue to the tips of the embroidery floss, I didn't, and it probably took me twice as long to make the bracelet.
I just might take this bracelet apart and make it again. I'm not happy with a couple of the button placements, but I will certainly be making more of these.

I've done lots of good button crafts. Candy canes, wreaths, button trees, button ornaments (we did butterflies). We love buttons! (You can find them all on the blog just google mama jack and the name of the craft you are looking for.)
ohmygosh, I must get that magazine NOW!! The last issue was the first one I ever laid my eyes on and it was instant love.
That looks like a great magazine. I have yet to find one locally (and even in places I visit).
The heart ornaments are adorable. When are you going to make some?
Got mine last week...wasn't this a particularly great issue?! I'm very inspired! Happy Days, Happy Crafting...((HUGS))
