Button Floozies

My summer flower design. Coconut buttons, linen, satin floss DMC. Sashkin house CrossStitch&Embroidery Sorry, text in blog is russian:) But I think everything is understandable. You can use a Google translator if you like it. Have a good day!

Floozie is too nice a term.  I'm a Buttonholic.  I have tins and jars full but I've found another way to use them.  If you can crochet a chain stitch, you can make this necklace.  Google crocheted necklaces and take your pick of tutorials but I got mine from Rebecca Sower's blog .  Have fun. I am.

Just thought I'd share some vintage buttons from a most recent project. I love the swirly details. And the burnt orange and chocolate colors~ they remind me of Autumn : ) And some, not so vintage. In fact-I believe they're new. But I love the colors too : ) I'm getting ready for Autumn colors~even if they're just in buttons!

Everyone has their favourites! These are mine -

I love these buttons. They remind of a times gone by. They have a very delicate appearance and can be used on some many different items. Had fun taking the photograph, it is tricky taking pictures of pale buttons! x

I saw and was inspired by a button brooch featured on Button Floozies about a year ago. Can not find the post again but if you now it was you thank you for the inspiration and leave a comment here so everyone else knows who it was. I added a small crochet flower as the base of my brooch and the large pink button is vintage. My Mum gave it to me years ago along with a box of other buttons. The wire was the tricky bit but once it was all together it looked really good. I am going to try some other colour combinations next. xx

There's nothing quite like having a little Button Bling in the button box. Here are just a few of the vintage, sparkling gems in mine. If you're a Floozie, I'm sure you have a few, too. I'd love to see what yours look like! Who's next? I hope you'll visit Brynwood Needleworks to see what's new in the studio this week.
