Hello there lovely Buttoneers! How the blooming buttons are we in June already!? How did this happen!? I always get to this part of the month and love to create a round-up of the previous month, but always do so worrying that I won’t have done enough, or more likely photographed enough to make a round-up. This luckily is never the case (phew!) and always manage to surprise myself with how much I had forgotten!
I love being able to look back over my adventures, crafty or personal, I love seeing which blog posts were written and posted, which doses of crafty goodness are made and how far I have come…
I am still finding that I love this way of documenting my everyday things like buying a new plant or making a new Create 28 item compared to my previous Photo-a-Day method. This way I feel like the pressure is taken off a bit and yet I am still able to snap away and share with you my days and weeks each month. How lovely!
Here is what has been going on in the Buttonsphere in May 2015…
Around Here…French knitting became a new obsession. I played around with my old Knitting Nancy for hours until I had finally grasped it all over again. I loved that I could make a continuous knitted tube and make this into a flower, or rather even better, a French knitted flower hair grip as No.14&15 of Create 28.
I was sure that the gorgeous yellow wool was spun from the sunshine itself and the lovely raspberry pink must have surely been hand-spun by raspberry fairies!
I also fell in love with Portlebay’s crispy bacon and maple syrup popcorn – I mean come on!! It’s crispy bacon and maple syrup flavour and its popcorn!! What more could you possibly want from a snack!?
Around here…We spotted gorgeous Wisteria on our adventures. I love the pretty, chalky pastels against that beautiful slate grey wall; I could stare at it all day. In amongst the chalky pastels of the Wisteria, up close it is just as beautiful as from afar with this huge dose of loveliness to a grey day.
Whoever said there was no such thing as a free lunch didn’t win a Walkers crisps free lunch! hehe! I rarely eat crisps and I never win anything, so this totally made my day!
I also happily sat in the Eliston Button Headquarters and made new paper confetti to add to my Etsy orders! I love putting pretty bits and pieces into each package as a lovely, fun surprise when it’s opened!
