Fellow blogger Cristina recently posted about a great button shop in San Francisco. I’ve got nothing like that here in Mad City WI, so I offered up a swap. She expressed interest in making a cutie-pie but didn’t have the balls. Ok, that sounded weird…she seems plenty gutsy to me. Anyway, she needed some felt balls to make a cutie pie, so we swapped buttons for felty balls, got it?

Look how yummy those vintage buttons are. Mmmmm! I have been making brooches lately and really wanted some buttons to accent them. In fact, look for a tutorial on felt brooches coming up this week.
