What did I do with my buttons?
I'm late, I'm late - I feel like that rabbit in Alice in wonderland. I live in California, so my day starts out a bit later than most of my blog hopping friends. On top of that I spent a whole lot of the day today thinking about the design, then creating my bracelet ( yes, I am one of those last minute persons...I don't want to be...but
When I was kind of satisfied I found the day light is almost gone. Well, still I took advantage of that slanting last beam of the afternoon sun ray on my window sill and I'll show you in a minute what I did.
I started with the lady. I name this piece "She- and her dreams". This button is sent by Cat. It took me a long time to find out what I want to put in here. Then I thought that keeping it most simple, knitting it with waves and waves of dreams and thoughts is what this piece should be all about. I thought of my mom (who has passed away in 2007) as I was making it.
I am so anxious to see what the others have done with their buttons. Please do hop on their blogs too. Here is the list and a short notice from Michelle who kindly arranged this whole BUTTON project.
Here is Michelle's note:
You might also want to tell your readers about the giveaway--if readers comment on any (or all) blogs, they can win a set of buttons. The full rules will be on my blog, but basically, each comment on a different blog gets them one entry. So if they comment on all posts, that would be 25 entries! But if they comment 25 times on Lori's blog, that only counts as one entry! The giveaway is open to everyone.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have questions.
Thanks,
Michelle
