Did I have to show you a picture of it? Probably not, but as I was doing it, I was reminded of the little girl in THE GAME PLAN who bedazzled her father's football. I thought about doing this (with buttons) to Jeremy's pants but these were his work pants and I didn't think the other men in the office would appreciate it as much as I would....:)
So on to the real thing. These are the items that I decided to make with buttons...
A tacky bracelet that I will never wear:
A hair clip that Maya could use for dress-up:
And a greeting card (...boring!)
I have decided that I am not much of a crafter. As much as I enjoy doing it, I am usually at a loss for what is COOL. I had some friends over on Saturday for a Craft and Tea Time and I decided to make an Easter wreath for our front door, only to have it turn out to be VERY commercial looking.....
It was fun making it but it is not really our style. So I took it down and it is now hanging in our bonus room, where most of our guests will not see it.
It was nice to have the chance to sit and chat with some friends without having to worry about the kids getting in my hair. Jeremy took them to his parent's house and it turns out that Declan had a long nap but Maya skipped her nap. She fell asleep on the 10 minute drive home and we just let her sleep a little bit on the couch before changing and putting her to bed.
Now that the kids are starting to get over their sicknesses, I have it. Mine is just a sinus cold but it is still not pleasant. Hopefully I am cured by Wednesday because we have a play date that day and the kids really need some interaction with other kids.

Oh, Tammy! I'm so sorry to hear that now you're the one sick! No fun! (We missed you this morning.)
Thanks for hosting the craft day. I think your wreath turned out nice. It may not be your style, but now you know for next time and can play around with different things...at least you tried!! I don't think your flower card is boring AT ALL. I think it turned out rather cute. I love that you're getting crafty with buttons! Hope you can come link up next Thursday to share off some of your creations. :)
Hope you get better REAL soon!
I like the bracelet. It's different. Maybe you can start a new trend. So, that's my wreath now, is it. You know me.....as long as it is only has to be kept up for one occasion, I will. So, you can give it to me if you don't want it.
Thanks again for hosting a craft day at your house! Possibly Sarah and Heidi's creative sides will rub off onto us! Hey, you saw my "scrapbook", you know I need help as bad as you:) - Sarah
I think your projects are cute! I love the card, I am always in such a hurry with cards that I never put much effort into them! Fun stuff!

I hope you are feeling better soon!
I love the hair clip. My girls would wear that all the time not just for dress up!
So glad you linked up to share!
Your hair clip is cute and I think my daughter would also like it. I might have to try it out - heaven knows I have a million buttons.
Hey, I love your craft ideas and your honesty! :-) Thanks for having me over the other day, I really enjoyed it.
Okay, I know the wreath isn't your taste, but I LOVE it! It's so cheerful =D
I think you're too hard on yourself, and I'm sure your daughter will get a lot of use out of the button hair clip! She can probably use the bracelet too and the wreath is very pretty. My mom would love it, so I'm actually thinking about stocking up after Easter on supplies to make her one for next year!
I love the wreath! I don't think it looks like anything you would typically find in a store. I think it's really springy and beautiful!
I bet you're a lot more crafty than you think!!
