| My new toy |
A few weeks ago, after reading the Make it Monday blog post on
Sew Sweet I treated myself to a
button making kit (at only £2.99!) and some self cover buttons from there. As I was cutting out this week-end I realised that rather than stash the off-cuts this was the perfect time to play with my new toy, and ta-dah!

There's an easy to follow tutorial on Sew Sweet's blog page and the instructions are on the back of the packet.
I have also been busy with a new bag design - Daisy, Daisy - going for bright funky colours this summer (well I live in hope!) . I'd planned to take their photos on the grass with daisies around them, but Mr PL cut the grass whilst I was out at the week-end!

Only a short blog today, as I have to go to the library, Pickle-Lily used the new self check out system and her record now shows that she has 14 books out (not the three we have at home) including Andy McNabb, Murder at somewhere and other adult books, rather than Jacquline Wilson and Michael Morpurgo, so I need to sort this out before I go to school this afternoon. I'm then going to spend the rest of the week reading all the lovely blogs at Wendy's
Handmade Harbour. Thank-you Wendy for hosting this again!

Your new button making machine looks quite exciting! I love the felt bags, too. I can see they would've looked good on a lawn on daisies. I'm sure the daisies will make a reappearance though! Our grass is still far too wet to cut and it poured overnight again - it will be thigh-high before we know it.
The bags are so sweet.
I love making fabric covered buttons too - they're so useful and pretty. I love your hair bands.
buttons are so very popular on everything at the moment, so a button-making machine is brilliant. Like the spotty ones. The felt bags are really lovely. Hope you ahve a good week.
The felt bags are lovely and bright. The button making kit looks fun and very useful.

Your bags are sew cute! lol sorrry for the rubbish pun lol! Love the bright colours and your lovely buttons!
OOOh, I haven't seen this button making gizmo before, I've been using the self cover ones. Is it easy to use?
Hmmm that little gadget looks interesting and a reasonable price. Must go see what that's all about!
