So two friends walk into Joann's

Once inside the store they go their separate ways, when friend A finds a soft sided tote, that was so compelling, she shows it to friend B. Friend A starts, "Look at how lovely it is, such a nice color, and look inside, all of the compartments it has, and it's the perfect size, and I can put all of my scissors on this side, and there's a place for thread, and the fabric fits right in the middle...."

Friend B looks up from what was a very concentrated effort at finding the right buttons (which btw, are buy one get one right now!), and says to Friend A, "So go home and make it!"

There was laughter from 3 rows down.

Friend A took the bag back.


So I checked my stash before heading out to Joann's and came back with these buttons for my chiffon blouse. They are very lightweight (plastic), which was important for this blouse. I had thought of some half dome buttons but they were all too cheap looking, or too heavy. The pansy buttons are earmarked for a pair of jeans or a jacket, they are metal and need a heavier fabric to support them.



Joann's is also running their $.99 sale on Simplicity patterns, so I picked up these two.... one of these days I'll try my first "Fabulous Fit" patterns, (that I seem to be accumulating).





This weekend will be finishing up 3 projects, I certainly won't run out of things to do.

Next week, I'll start a trench coat.
