Crafting 42/365...

...loveheart buttons and beads...

I am so incredibly excited by these little lovelies, positively giddy in fact!! 

To start with I wasn't planning on painting them, but then Johnny returned from work and recommended I did...I'm so glad, I think they look SO realistic.

Here's a picture of some real ones for you to compare!!

Crafting 41/365...

...watermelon beads and buttons...

Buttons as well as beads this time!!  Mostly I'm just stocking up for handmade Oxford, but some of the buttons will be available here and here later today.

Crafting 40/365...

...finished typewriter key buttons and some lacey charcoal buttons...

They didn't come out as well as I had hoped at all, but I'm quite happy with the lacey buttons I made out of the scraps.

Crafting 39/365...

...punctuation buttons in progress...

I was having all sorts of crafting problems yesterday, I hardly got anything done, it all seemed to go wrong!  So I started to play around with my letter cutters.  I quite like how these have turned out, I think they look like typewriter keys.

Crafting 36/365...

...sewing rainbow buttons on to card...

I'm not entirely convinced that this counts as crafting...but it did involve sewing and I'm afraid it's all I have to show for Friday!
