Cutting it Close

It seems like so long ago that I signed up for Michelle's animal-themed embroidered button swap. At the time, May 10th seemed so far away!

Embroidered Buttons

I kept putting off work on my buttons, because I couldn't come up with an idea I was pleased with. I threw away many sketches.

Finally, just last week, I came up with a plan that I liked and set to work getting it in thread!

See all six on flickr.

So though I had moments of doubt, times when I thought I might be a dreaded bad swapper, I got my buttons to Michelle on time. I can't wait to see what I get back!

Also... I redesigned the blog! If you check in a feed reader, be sure to click through to look.
