Buttons in progress

[sister_raphael]

Happpily I don't need more than four little red wool buttons for the surcote, so it's on the the buttons then 4 little buttonholes to match!

I'll be honest, I'm not a big fan of wool buttons if I'm trying to make them small, as they really do take a lot of squeezing to get them to a nice size if the wool is a little on the thick side.

One of these days I need to try making buttons. I know it's not all that hard, but I would want a lot. I already have a project making tagua nut buttons (patterned after one found in Greenland, which would be perfect for a Greenland gown, if I could ever get myself working on that project). So many ideas, so little time... I really don't know how you do it!

That's EXACTLY how I feel about everything you get done! I read your posts and just am amazed at your productivity. Languages, cooking, cycling... and blogs and more!
