These buttons are so cute. Susan saw my Mason Jar buttons on my blog and very kindly gave me a big bag of buttons. This is just a small sampling. I love the old buttons on the cards. My jar is three quarters full now!
I was also given these very special fabrics to add to Phebe. I have always loved the pink and the blue pieces pictured in the front and I can't wait to use them.
I went shopping for some fabrics to use in my Swan Lake hexagons ...
and added some more fabrics to the Phebe basket. There is nothing like a little retail therapy to get me back on track. Thank you to everyone for your positive comments on my last post. I am over my little hissy fit now and feeling very positive about all the projects I am currently working on.
I managed to make 8 babies this week. I am aiming for 5 a week and if I make a few more, then that is a bonus.
I now have a grand total of 21! I am looking forward to getting a few more made so I can start sewing them together.
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

You're a button lover also. I inherited ALL my Grandmother's buttton. I'll never be able to use them all, but I do love looking through them.
Very beautifull fabrics! I like the pink and blue ones very much. I too am going to buy more fabric the coming week and I 'm really looking forward to it.I will show it next week on my blog,

Lovely, lovely inspiration!

What a lovely gift: those buttons look like candy...
And You have such a great eye for fabric!!! I can't wait to see more of Phebe...Sue-Anne, I love how your Klosjes are coming along, and how you are combining your fabrics...I think I could just stare at your babies... oh, does that one say 'Love'!

Love the buttons.. :o)
And the fabrics bought and received... gorgeous..:o) Love your Spools... P R E T T Y!!!! :o)
I love your little klosjes. I can feel my willpower against starting anything new weakening everytime I see them. I have a bunch of small pieces of civil war repro fabric that doesn't match anything else in my stash that would be just perfect, and I would like to learn how to hand piece. Feel... willpower... slipping....
I feel like I deserve a treat after finishing ALL those quilt show slideshows!
Happy Klosjes,
Susan
Detail therapy is a good fix when feeling down! Love the buttons fabrics specially that cute scissors with heart handles where did you find them? Hugs from the land of the white cloud NZ - Nat
Oh, lucky you with the buttons - how nice to see the jar filling up.
Klosjes are looking great. I see some of your special new fabric in there! Well, hopefully your retail therapy's working for you - but even if it's not, it's working for me! Seeing all your fabrics on display is making me want to get out some of my fabric and play!
Regards, Sue
I used to have a piece of the soft pinky color fabric with the acorns on it. I will work well in a reproduction quilt.
Oh so pretty your Klosjes are. There is one in particular that I love. That lavender one. And aren't your scissors so adorable. Oh my gosh I love them. As for your hissy fit, I didn't really notice that but I'll agree there's nothing like a little retail therapy to lift a girls spirits.
Love new new stash additions and the buttons are adorable Sue-Anne. Your little babies are coming along beautifully, I have to say I was tempted to join in but I'm glad now I didn't! I just have so many projects going at the moment. Love your scissors in the photo too, can I ask you where you got them from?
Have a great sunday,

Lovely fabrics Sue-Anne and the klosjes are looking good. You have been very busy this week. You might like this little idea for displaying some of those pretty buttons. I made a mini wholecloth quilt wallhanging and in the spaces added the buttons as a sampler. Not that you need anymore ideas!!!
Love Shirley.x
Lovely fabrics Sue-Anne and the klosjes are gorgeous.
Beautifull buttons! I like collecting and reusing them as well. I have some that date back over 50 yrs...I still have the buttons off my going away outfit from our wedding..
