The Cutest Shortbread Button Cookies

You know how I love buttons!

I’m happy to have permission from Nikole, of Forty Sixth at Grace,

to share her tutorial and recipe link
for these adorable

button shortbreads.  They would make a cute
addition to an Easter cookie plate!

Anne Boleyn Collage

Here is another fabric collage
I finished last week.
It’s a gift I gave to a good friend of mine
who is a big fan of The Tudors.

She loved it and was so appreciative! 

My Altered Camera Case

I didn’t like the look or  feel
of my camera case,
so I took some

leftover fabric from a recent
project and glued it
plus some grosgrain
ribbon onto the sides
and front of the case. To cover up the 
lime-green lining that
showed out around the
zipper at the top, I glued some brown seam binding and … 
voila!

Now I’m happy with how
it feels and
it’s so much prettier!

Queen Victoria Collage

Catching up here and showing you a fabric collage I made recently and gave as a gift. I find it hard to part with items I make and would only consider giving such a gift to a friend who I believe will

appreciate and treasure such an offering.

It’s a bit like writing a story or poem and sharing it with others; You have to trust that the person receiving your creative gift will respect your vulnerability and will have the grace and good manners to acknowledge your efforts even if the article isn’t their ‘thing’.
