Getting Crafty - Snow White buttons!

Recently I bought a button maker and I have gone button crazy!

I ordered a started kit off Amazon from Badge-A-Mint.  Based on reviews I wasn't sure how it would work.  I didn't need to worry!  As long as you follow directions, you get excellent buttons!

The machine came in a cute box with a carry handle - a nice touch.

At first all the parts are over-whelming, but once you get going, it is so easy to use!

I had been saving old calendar pages from those tear-a-day calendars without a clear idea of what to make.  Now I know...buttons!

And now...the buttons!

 

The starter kit only came with 10 buttons, so I've already ordered additional buttons to make!

Getting Crafty: Seven Dwarfs Fabrics

Recently I've been reading about how hard it's been for Jo-Ann's to keep Frozen fabric on the shelves.  Well, I'm thrilled to have found some great Seven Dwarfs fabrics!  Over the years I've seen (and bought) many fabrics with the lovely Snow White herself, but I many with the dwarfs.  Especially those that do not have directionality to the print.  I bought a bunch of each type and now am awaiting inspiration to strike as to what I want to make. 

I love this one...so fantastic! It's a flannel fabric, maybe a future theme park purse?

This print is much larger and a fleece.  Perfect to make a blanket with!

For those less crafty inclined: this is a no sew fleece throw
