Who Knew?

In case you thought my path had veered, have no fear, I am still walking down the crafting road. I have gotten most of my project ideas from other blogs. There are a lot of very talented ladies out there! And I for one am grateful they are willing to share their projects/patterns and directions for those of us who are less talented.

I came across this Button Wreath Ornament by clicking around on a craft blog. It looked my speed... simple! I didn’t have any buttons at home, so I just saved the link in my favorites thinking that I would try it out someday. I was walking around Joanne Fabrics the other day and came across a bunch of buttons on clearance. My mind immediately went to the button wreath and I bought a few different colors for less than a $1.00. I love sales!

Anyway, I knew Aaron was going to be a little later at work tonight so I decided to give the button wreath a try. I started out making it for my sister for Christmas (don’t tell her!) because she loves the color orange. But I may keep it for myself. :o)

As I was finishing up the wreath, I noticed how much it looked like a pumpkin. All it needed was some green ribbon. Who knew!? I started out making a Christmas ornament but I think I like the idea of pumpkins better. It's my way of adding a twist to the project!

That is very cute Jackie. It would look sweet tied to a gift tag on a present or to a basket full of cookies. I think I may do that for my neighbors this year.

That is so cute!!! I'll have to give that a try. Do I hear Christmas gifts for my friends and family this year?? ha ha - it's a recession so take the buttons AND LIKE IT!

I'm serious though - it is adorable. I'll have to remember that if ever I come across a button sale.

Blogs are awesome, aren't they???? I came across this cupcake blog the other day that had great ideas for cupcakes. Everyone is talented in one way or another and these blogs are a great way to share that knowledge.... LOVE IT!!!
