This afternoon I spent "crafting"
as opposed to sewing....
and I made some
button garlands...
what fun this was...
😇😊😍
I follow Jeri Belini on Youtube:
Here is her video....

she has a video on button garland making
which is wonderful...
A great tutorial for using up all those bigger
buttons you may have saved...
I had a whole tin of them
some from my Grand-mere and
my Mother from the days when
people saved buttons....
and cut them off of no
longer wearable items...
Here is a closer look at the
garlands I made
⇓⇓⇓
some of these buttons came from Jeri's Etsy shop...
I have them hanging from our two floor lamps
in the living room right now; but
they will be draped over our table top
Christmas trees this year shortly...
We plan to put up the trees on
Black Friday--which is my total
recouperation day and sewing day...
I used some waxed linen thread that I had left over from
book binding to string them all together..
they have such a lovely soft tinkling sound too;))))
Thank you Jeri for a terrific tutorial that is
so easy to do...
*****************************
Early this morning I did my final (I hope)
Thanksgiving Day shopping...
I was at the store by 8:30 a.m. and
was so surprised to see that it was
just jammed already with shoppers!!!
⌚💸🏃🏪🚗
Turkey-Lurkey is thawing nicely in our
fridge and I have everything on hand
both for the meal and the appetizers...
My daughter, Candice, will be bringing
sides and an appetizer and the pies...
I hope all of you who celebrate
Thanksgiving have a wonderful day..
Hugs, Julierose
