This weekend, I was very busy working on buttons!!! My boy William (yes, I have a boyfriend now) and I cut and made them using my button maker. Yippee!!!
I made some kitschy ones and also some ones just with Fresno sayings. I plan to sell them locally at Twee, my friend Pattie and Melanie’s store in the Tower District!
What I like about making these is that once you have the machine and the button backs, it takes like no time to make a handful of buttons. I’m all about the quick and easy craft and the result is so polished and perfect that I get really excited (have I mentioned I’m kinda messy crafter/rough around the edges??). I like that I succeeded at creating something so cool. I got a fishbowl today so people can fish through them. I love being able to fish through a bowlful of buttons or beads! There’s something very cool and tangible about discovering a design that is totally you!
Anyway, here are some more or my buttons. As I mentioned before, I created them using loteria wrapping paper.
And here are my Fresno designs…
Hope you guys had a great weekend!! Until next time Swellions!

Cool buttons! And congrats on the boyfriend 😉
i, too, have an obsession about picking through a bowlful of buttons. i have a TON of buttons and would love to make them! are button makers expensive?
My new paisley messenger bag would love to dig through your buttons for a couple perfect pieces of flare. Love it!
Hello,nice post thanks for sharing?. I just joined and I am going to catch up by reading for a while. I hope I can join in soon.
I feel so far from you these days! Still think of you often and love seeing what you are up to. I MISS YOU! Your buttons are adorable. I was wondering, with only 5 days left of your 365 photos, are you planning anything special for the last one? Maybe prince william can join you :D. Don’t even know him yet and already with the nicknames. <3 u
