My first stop was at the Salvation Army to sift through the drawers of buttons. I only had plain and boring at home and wanted some cute little bits of colour. I then made a phone call to a friend who has been making winter coats for her girls from old woollen blankets, to see if she had any scraps she could spare. I then had a heap of embroidery thread that came to me with all my nana's sewing bits and I was set to go.
On one particularly dreary day, I sat down in front of the fire and quietly stitched away.
Not too sure I'm going to do with them - but Danielle likes the idea of pinning them to one of her bed cushions as a cover which seems a great idea (and I pinned one onto one off her fabric hairbands). I thought they could also look cute on one of her winter coats, or woollen hat or her bag.
These will be a neat little project for the kids to have a try at as well in the winter days ahead...

Very cute. I find hand stitching very meditative.
They look great and isn't it such an easy but satisfying craft to dip into. Exciting that Danielle is interested. We are working on bags with long straps at the moment. The possibilities are ongoing.
