Button, Button, I've got the Buttons!

Ok, today is the day I figure out how to add photos to my posts.

D#1 needs to replace a couple buttons on her favorite flannel. Do you think we could find a match??? In the search for the right buttons, i realized that my buttons had avoided the clean-out. So i brought them down from the attic, the hallway cupboard, and the craft room...i know, it's a lot of buttons. This is my Mom's collection, my Grandma's collection, my collections, and (blush) I even bought them by the 1/2 pound!

But still, no matching button! So she's going to replace them all with cute little blue ones. Good plan. In the mean time, i got to play with my button collection. The ones that are strung were done by me and my mom way too many years ago to tell you how many. D#3 helped sort them out and earned a couple of brass buttons as payment. She was as happy as I was to see her playing with my collection. Now they're in jars by color and type...where I can see them all the time. It makes me smile.

Happy Anniversary

Twenty Years today!! Wow, time goes so fast. My Love and I have endured quite a bit, by God's grace and I am looking forward to growing old with him. (When does that start, btw??) I love him more than I ever have, can't imagine life without him, and thank my God every day for his mercies and kindness toward our family.

In celebration of our twentieth anniversary, I have accepted the 10 Tasks in 10 days challenge from The Shabby Chic Cottage, with a concentration on my bedroom. So, here's my list, in no particular order:

1.) Move Bed to our new room
2.) Find/make curtains
3.) Upcycle old dust ruffle into something
4.) Find a dust ruffle
5.) Clothing storage (this is a biggie as I have determined the only furniture in our new room will be made by James!)
6.) Move sewing stuff to new craft room (the old bedroom;)
7.) Completely clean bed
8.) Wipe down bedroom walls and ceilings
9.) Clean windows
10.) Install ceiling fan

It's doable, and to be honest, partly already done. The bed is moved and cleaned...so, BACK to work! Come join the fun!
