Referring to last Wednesday’s post about fabric and buttons: I cut out the turquoise flannel Friday afternoon. I haven’t worked on it any yet. The grandson was occupying the spare room this weekend and I didn’t have anywhere to set up the ironing board that wouldn’t be in the way. I rarely sew much on weekends anyway.

I ordered some buttons from Create For Less on Wednesday or Thursday (I forget which) and they came in the mail Saturday. I wasn’t expecting them until late this week. It was a nice surprise. It’s hard to tell what they really look like from the pictures on the website so I ordered several different styles. (including some lovely pink ones for a piece of fabric not in the picture) I know I will eventually use them for something. They’re all very pretty. They’re Dill buttons, a brand I hadn’t heard of before. They have a huge selection and the ones I ordered are so nice, I’m an instant fan.

I think I’ll wait until I sew them onto something before taking pictures. Most of them come in little blister packs so I think it might be hard to get a good picture of them and I don’t want to open the packs until I’m ready to use them.
