Fall is in the air...
Even though it's been unseasonably warm around these parts lately, I can still feel fall in the air, can you?
It's time to restock my handmade store with winter items, including this fun, completely-ephemera album:
Just looking at it makes me crave pumpkins and spice!
I'm running away from the change of seasons, though. I just don't want to let go of summer.
If you want to see the album and all its pages -- or even make it your own! -- here it is.
My favorite crafting spot (the dining room table) is full once more, but now with a different assortment of crafty mess. I've moved on to making the 12 "three inchy" embellishments for another of my Silver Bella swaps. I so wish I could show you what I've worked up! It will have to wait until November, though.
I've also been mounting buttons on "trays" as they're called; this because at last month's meeting, my club challenged me to get started doing so. This entails fastening them to acid free board with coated wire.
Apparently, this is the safest way to store your buttons. (Unlike the way I've always done it -- in pretty jars, and compartments in a container.)
It's certainly a good way to admire them!
I've enjoyed doing these few trays, not just because I get to go back and say, "See! I did it!"
-- but also because it makes me feel ultra organized and I just love that feeling!
Don't you?
I'm almost finished with these black and colored glass button trays. Then, I'll start on my clear button trays. The other good thing about doing this? I get to see how many duplicates I have, and then set those aside to share, use in crafts, or sell!
Speaking of selling: I put together a "shop sign" for Indulge Your Shelf! Even though it's a virtual, not bricks and mortar, shop, I thought it would be fun to have one. As you can see, I made it from letters cut from state license plates, and mounted them onto the perfect-sized piece of salvaged wood. I bought the piece of wonderful, scrappy wood in Kansas last fall!
What have you been working on?

Love the buttons too. Now you can see them soo much easier but you can't really play with them. I know you love taking your buttons out of the jars and touching and feeling them!!!
