I used to make these loads when I was younger and they'd take me FOREVER.  I recently remembered how good they look, and I can make one in every colour to go with any outfit.  I suppose it is re-conned a bit as they are on safety pins.  Sorry for the rubbish pic, I will upload another if anyone wants to see a better one.

So my sister came to me with this top - it had studs glued to it, which kept coming off in the wash, but she loved the shape of it.  So it killed my nails, but i picked off the remaining studs and turned to my nana's button jar and this is what happened!  She loves it, and so do I, gotta make one for myself now!!

Ok - late as I am with this - many apologies - I mostly Craftster on my phone so rarely get quality time with the laptop for picture uploading.

Here is the Mandrake Marleymiss kindly made me up close and personal.
Thanks again Marleymiss - I LOVE it!

eeep!  i am already 1/2 way into my medium project and it's going smooth!  i'm hoping to have time to do some extra crafting! i just can't help doing extras! It's just too fun!

Ooooh soooo exciting!  I haven't started yet, but I have plans a-foot!  I think mine might be on the "large" side of a large item as well, tee hee - now to order some supplies.....

You're welcome Kat - glad it made it intact, I tried to get everything you said you liked in there...except space, because - I ran out of space!!  Meant to say the ring is adjustable, you can just pull it out to fit.

Yuss!! I'm it, a bit last minute but got my Q sent in - a bit over specific on my part for some reason, but I cannot wait to get partners and get started! It is ooooooon!!

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!

Thanks suereal I had never heard that phrase before! I was thinking whimsical?! Whimsie whimsie..... But now I know and I will use it all the time - turns out I'm a hoarder of whimsie's - especially buttons 

Ok - what is a whimsie?!??

Wow, I feel totally out of my depth, racky that box is so detailed and well made, it's immense! And how has everyone got so much in?!?
I have sent, but sent my "sent" msg to the wrong craftybutterfly, I realised my mistake when my name didn't go blue for a couple of days.... whoopsie! Oh well, the real Crafty Butterfly has my msg now, and I'm hoping my partner receives everything in good order, can't wait to know what she thinks!
