Learn How To Weave

If you would like to learn how to weave, go to Basketmaster's Weavings. It's easier for me to learn how to do something if I am shown how to do it. This is why I like Basketmaster's Weavings videos.

The first thing I want to try to make is this Heart Basket.

Cute As A Button Activities

I found these on Better Homes and Garden's and thought they were adorable! Not to mention easy and inexpensive to make.

My Grandmother used to have an old brown tin can filled with buttons her mother had saved. As a young girl I would sit and go through all the buttons entertained by all the shapes and colors.

I think I'll start my own button collection in a pretty box like the one below. 

Stack up complementary-colored buttons, then attach them to a magnet or thumbtack to dress up a bulletin board.

Ok, so after all this crafting why not serve up these Yummy Shortbread Buttons I found at forty-sixth at grace.
