Button Art

After organizing all my buttons into colour groups I took a break to make something crafty.

I first saw button art on Mod Podge Rocks and loved it! Coupled with the fact that the glass on the picture frame I had been saving for something else had cracked, I got on and made my very own button art. I removed the broken glass and cut a stiff piece of white card to size and secured it into the frame. After laying out all the buttons I wanted to use, I moved them around the white card until I was happy with the balance of colour and size. I then attached them to the card using double sided sticky tape. Voila! a cheap and easy to make piece of art for my newly organized craft room.

Have a sweet day!

last night i needed to have dinner organised & ready to go early so i could pop out to do a quick photo session. after i had finished the shoot i had some time up my sleeve before i was due home for the bedtime routine & good night kisses. so i stopped the car at the foreshore & enjoyed snapping away. others were dining with friends at the restaurant on the beach. some were enjoying fish & chips at the picnic tables & i was loving the time to just look around & this is what i saw:

Things I have seen that I wish I could unsee

I'm sure we all have images burned onto our retinas that we can never take back. Once seen, they can never be unseen. They are part of us for life.

Five of the things I have seen that I wish I could unsee.

1. A man getting brutally bashed.
This was in Nairobi. He stole a bag. They bashed him.

2. Inside my friend's vagina.
This is a story I only ever tell after about 47 glasses of wine and 3 tequila shots.

3. The lint filter of my washing machine after discovering that my 2 year old washing machine has a lint filter.
No further correspondence will be entered into on this matter.

4. The ultrasound of a blighted ovum pregnancy
That sweet mother's face is the bit that I can never unsee.

5. The home of an obsessive-compulsive hoarder
I have had an aversion to clutter ever since.

What things have you seen that you wish you could unsee?
