Holiday decoration ideas!

Sooper Bloomers is a lovely little etsy shop that I am in love with and am seriously wanting on the Starry Holiday Ornament for my tree. I want to collect an ornament for each year that Puggle is around. This year is not technically their first giftmas and while we don't celebrate per se, I want to have something to celebrate the end of the year and giftmas ornaments are easy to do.


I highly recommend going and visiting. I'm about to check my paypal account to see if I can afford a brooch ;).

Buttons!

I saw a pdf for a button necklace the other day and was inspired to make things. Sarah from Frankie Fan 13's etsy shop (and sweet lovely friend as well!) made a very sweet necklace that I snaffled up, and one for Kate as well. It was amusing as I'd seen a green one on etsy, and Kate had too, and when she went back with a firm "I wants it and I'm going to haves it" she was devo* to find it not there. And thrilled when I gave it to her.

Anyway, I was talking about buttons. I own buttons. Lots of people have buttons. So I took my buttons and made these:


And then gave it away. Then made a few more. And gave them away too. I also made these:


Aren't they sweet? I love my hot glue gun. They're brooches by the way - itty bitty button brooches. Easy to make and great to look at!

* devo = mock devestation. Because the word "devestation" can be defined in my life at the moment but there are still times when I'm upset.
