Buttons and Yo-yos

Hello, Ladies! Annelise here, and I am getting super excited for craft night next week. Granted I am also kinda nervous! That's just how I am. I really hope this doesn't seem too lame and everyone doesn't already know how to do this, but I promise that you will find so many fun and cute things to do with . . . Buttons and Yo-yos! Just take a look.

Are you so excited? We will all look like that darling gem when we are finished. Seriously, vests are so in this season. Fine, how about something more like this?

Here are the basics that you will want to have with you for making fabric covered buttons and hand stitched yo-yos:

• Fabric, fabric, fabric! You don't need much, scraps will work well.
• Button forms. Find them at any fabric store.
• Or if you want the easy {but a tad more expensive} way out, just get some button packages with molds and presses.
• Anything else you might want to jazz up your buttons and yo-yos.
• Yikes, I really hope I'm not forgetting anything.

I have 3 different sized button molds, some buttons, several sewing needles, lots of thread, a hodge podge of fabric, and a few pair of scissors. I will also have things like bobby pins, hair clips, magnets, tacks, flower wire etc. to help ebb on the flow of creative juices.

So I don't know all of you, and a lot of you I only know through Triana. Don't be shy, though. I really am super excited to be hosting! Friday, September 19 at 8:00. Email me and I will send you my address in Springville, directions, phone number, whatever. {annelisebriggs at yahoo dot com} Can't wait, see you there!
