Button Love
When I had my trip to London in October I dropped into Liberty and ohhhed and ahhhed over the vast array of loveliness that they had there. Being on a tight budget at the time meant I couldn't indulge myself as much as I would have liked but when I saw this gigantic purple button I knew that I had to have and it instantly came to me what it would be turned into.
A Princess Lasertron inspired brooch! I've moved it from coat to coat over the last couple of weeks since I made it ever since I took my poppy off. And I have had a vast amount of compliments and comments on it, even at my job interview last week!
So simple and yet I love it. Think I might have to make a few more in different colours if I ever find such large buttons again!
PS thanks so much for your congratulations on my last post. I sat reading them back today and I had a little weep sitting on the sofa. Blogland's kindness really knows no bounds, you are an amazing bunch of women.
wow its beautiful! i love it :) do you have any tips for making one? i want to make one for my mum, for her birthday and yours is just lovely :)
Very cute!
Oh Liberty…how envious I am that you can just pop in there! Excellent purchase and even better use of it!
So very pretty! Those two buttons go so well together!
I’ve always wondered how I could use those seriously big buttons when I’ve come across a beautiful one, and now I know! That’s a really pretty brooch, and the black and white button on top goes really well with the purple one – love it!
That is gorgeous. And I’m so glad to hear about the job! What a load of stress gone. And now you and G can have peaceful holidays.
