Day 301 : Go

Today's button is a bit of a doodle button. The ground colour wasn't the easiest to find contrasts with, at least ones that would photograph. That can be an issue, as I am sure many of you have noticed, that sometimes my camera doesn't quite pick up what I would like it to. Ah well, should you ever be able to see the buttons in real life, perhaps you'll enjoy them all the more.

Ever so cold and wet today. And of course, with the clocks having gone back on Sunday, it's dark and dreary too. So I will try to think of some cheery designs.

More golden braid! I just love the colour at the moment. And back to my stash - these little spangles are sterling silver, so in a few years they will tarnish. It will be interesting to see the effect of that.

Mark has designed a lovely stacking box to hold all of the challenge buttons. He's made two - so 2016 buttons can also be put into one. I now need to get them decorated. 

The year is really rolling along now. There's barely any blank space on my wall. I'll try to take a picture of it this week.

Day 299 : Direction

Here's a different one today. Not even sure where it came from - it just wanted to be made. I quite like it though. It's very shiny!

So, my little Viking fosterlings have sailed away :( Gosh I miss them! But, they are setting in so well that I know this was destiny. It was just meant to happen the way that it has happened. See what I mean? -

I do like a happy ending. It's what we need in these uncertain times isn't it?
