On The Hunt

This year I have decided
that I will do one project a month

there may be a month
when I will complete more than one
but this is my goal


I already have a couple of things in mind
and I have already completed one
which was too easy
but
I got it done

that makes me happy.

So to complete my first big project
I am on the hunt for buttons
not pick them up at the store buttons
vintage buttons

maybe even ones that have some meaning

whose grandmother did not have a tin
that looked like this?

I am recovering my chair pads
they are a charming
dusty rose floral right now
I know, I know

but there is nothing really wrong with them
other than the fabric

I looked all over for replacements
but they are all so big
and do not fit my chairs the way these ones do

so I have bought a drop cloth
it is the perfect color
at the right price I may add

and since I want to tuft the pads
I am looking for buttons...

I do have a note out to my cousin
to see if maybe just maybe
there is a tin down at the farm

if not ~ I am off to the flea market tomorrow

I will let you know how I make out
and once I start my project
I will take before and after shots
for your viewing pleasure.

Have a wonderful week-end!
