My Creative Space : Need Buttons

Doesn't it just frustrate you when you are zooming along creating something, and you get to a certain point and then realise you have no buttons/zips/clasps/ribbon to finish it off?

Well, that's where I am at with this little jacket for my nephew Cedar. Now, I have quite a stash of buttons so in no way did I think I needed to buy any, but alas, I do :-P

So until I get back to the shops, this is where it's at...


But in other creative endeavours, I have managed to finish off this little beanie for my friend's little girl...


I really love the over-sized flower on the beanie - it reminds me of the 1920's flapper style which I find beautiful.

Hopefully I will have something more to show after the school holidays, with a stack of WIP's I really should finish, as well as a couple of custom orders.

Happy creating, wherever you are!

    I love your hat. It's gorgeous! Also, I scrolled down to your lego party - love it! Where on earth did you find the cookie cutter?

    I agree..it's very annoying to break off and go and find what you need when you're in the mood to finish it! I love your nephew's name...Cedar..has a great ring to it..he'll look just fine in his new jacket too!

    Wow I am the opposite, so many buttons and nothing to put them onto. Love the flower on the beanie.

    Cedar is a lucky boy and yes very much the flapper style in the beanie. Your kiddos are handsome boys.

    Love the look of that beanie - can I ask where you bought the hat stand from? I am sending a heap of beanies off to market with a friend soon and a few of these would be fab:)
