Buttons and more cushions!

Hi all,

Hope you're OK today, think it's going to be a lovely crisp day. My range cooker arrived this morning!!! It's in the garage though so no photos yet but I will have a peek later.

I've been admiring buttons today. I ordered some from The Little Bead Box and they arrived yesterday and are so pretty. I spent ages sorting through them with my eldest (and whilst I was doing that a certain even smaller person managed to spend £40.15 on games on facebook, little monkey... I knew she was too quiet!!!). Anyway I'm loving the candy colours. I've shown them on some felt I got from Lupin Handmade which I tried out last night on a cushion which you can see below.

I'm pleased with this, it's the first time I've really used felt and I have to say I find it easier embroidering onto fabric but at least there's no fraying or hemming involved!!!

A good excuse to use two little duck buttons I've had for ages. The fabric is a Tanya Whelan one from Patch Fabrics in case you were interested.

I love sending off baby pressies!

I've made more progress with the union jack inspired cushion, it needs the back sewn on, which is my job for this afternoon but it is finally finished. This is the front tucked round an existing cushion so you can see how it will look.

Here's the top of the one to go with it with the little girl's name on, I think it's cute.

I think that's all for today folks. Hope you have a thrilling Thursday :)

Love Mel xxx
