Buttons

It was my birthday last week. My lovely husband is brilliant at buying presents. Aren’t I lucky 🙂

He bought me a case for my camera, a copy of Call the Midwife (did anyone else love that show?) and a big pot of buttons. Everything came from amazon which has been par for the course since before amazon started selling more than books and cds – I love books and cds but I’m glad the range has expanded!

Yesterday I sat and sorted the buttons by colours. I have a weird case of OCD! I love sorting and categorising things but I’ll step over something on the floor rather than actually putting it away.

These ‘test tubes’ had originally had herbs in them. They look really cute with the buttons in them. There were a lot of black and white buttons and very few blue and green but on the whole it’s a good mix

and there were some extra special ones!!

See, I told you I can’t tidy up, this is our dinning table, because there’s no way of faking tidy on my work desk craft table and I didn’t even actually tidy the whole table in advance.

After a while someone wandered in to see what I was doing

and had great fun moving everything around and counting them

and lining them up for photos.
