Button Wednesday - My Button Sorting Apprentice (and her helper).

Yesterday morning I was lucky enough to buy a tin of buttons in a charity shop for £2.99.  'That's my afternoon sorted'  I thought (pardon the pun).

There were quite a few British Railways buttons that I have listed on ebay.

Back from school, my daughter was excited at the thought of sorting them  so I let her have the pleasure.  I have to say it did not last and I took over but then I got bored and having sorted out the bestest ones, put the rest back into the tin.

I did manage to take this photo of my little apprentice. She did very well.

If you look closely in the top right hand corner of the photo you will see that my daughter had her own, unknowing, helper.

Button Wednesday - Cats

It is my aim to post more regularly on my blog and because I am not working over the Summer, I hope I can use this time to do so.

One thing I want to do is dedicate a day to a theme, as many wonderful bloogers already do, and today being Wednesday is Button Wednesday. Before you all jump up and down thinking 'how clever you are Alix' well of course I am clever but not in this particular instance as it is not my idea. Button Wednesday has been created over here on P8 Button and Fabrics blog.

As you may know ('he he he' she laughs!) I make buttons. However, I plan to show other buttons as well.

This my first ever Button Wednesday post is dedicated to just one button (or set). Mainly because I am doing this post in the last 10 minutes before I rush to work.


So the other day I was searching for some very important papers and in doing so pulled out a drawer. And behind the drawer were these buttons.






I do not think they are really old. They are plastic. But I love their white eyes in black bodies.

Now what shall I do with them?
