CHRISTMAS TIME

Santas find themselves poking out of sweet boxes decorated with their reindeers...snowmen join in  the festive time too

The Happy Time of drawing, 

getting the buttons & decorations all dressed up for 

painting, 

display etc

****

A button can enhance a little box,

 lay on a gorgeous crystal plate beside more decorations, 

become a bon bon centre piece....

add to cards, notebooks etc...

Be my stocking to hang

A tag ...a cloth calico bag loves a stamp & a button !

 Cupcake paper holders are great for holding a display of Christmas buttons....

Look into the picture to see other ideas that can be magically transformed in the shortest of time.

 Some of the above are not all in this year's collections but now that I have disentangled myself to work for my own song at my own pleasure some may arrive back in a flurry of happiness.

THIS CURRENT YEARS COLLECTION

  Usually reds & greens with some painted decorating ...I changed some of the items into pastels.....

I love the way they are not overwhelmed by some of the fabric that is also patterened in the hoop.

Some are buttons & decorations, changing size and sometimes adding or taking away elements in the design.....happiness in red & white with a dash of green in always my favourite.....

Go to my website to see all the designs

Including Scruffy the Christmas Dog cutest button
