Yarn along craftiness...and a final day for a giveaway!

Right now I'm in the homestretch of so many projects...
Like my t-shirt yarn mat/rug...
or my Oaklet Shawl...
or a baby vest  for the little premature baby my friend just had...


I've been reading like crazy...
the new curriculum I got in this week...
or the books I got from the library...about knitting...the Opinionated Knitter is a must read!
or research for our "Ancient Egyptian Times" newspaper...
or a fun book like the Dinopedia






I'm working on a tutorial for T-shirt yarn...my new love.

And I've been creating like crazy...
buttons and more buttons...
Each piece of wood seems to be talking to me...
dye me with blueberries...
carve a little more off the rim...
but not too much...
I deserve to be a toggle, not a mini button...


Remember today is the last chance to win your choice of buttons from my shop...just pop on over to my new Etsy Shop Citysister Designs and let me know what you like best...and enter to win...just by leaving a comment on this post...tell your friends for an extra chance.  I'll combine those with the comments from the original announcement post!  Leave a comment if you'd like to host your own giveaway and we can talk.

  2. Wow. I'm exhausted reading about everything you are working on and reading! I think I might need to go back to bed... :)
    I love your buttons! I had a notion (see what I did there?) about making buttons last year, when we lost a lot of branches from an early snowstorm. I held on to the branches for quite a while but ended up leaving them behind when we moved; I never did get around to it. I think a nature/branch collecting walk in the park may be in order one of these days. In the meantime I will just ogle your beautiful buttons. (I like the toggles the best!) xo

  4. Oh my, you have been busy,busy, busy! Button making is addictive isn't it? Yours are so very pretty and the best of luck with your shop.
    I am very curious about teeshirt yarn and am looking forward to hearing more about it.

  5. Cute little buttons! Best of luck with your etsy store. I linked to here on my current post of my free baby sweater vest pattern, in the section on buttons. Blessings! http://www.larksongknits.com/2012/10/23/free-babytoddler-vest-pattern/

  6. I can't wait to see all of your FOs! I would also really use that t-shirt yarn tutorial...I have a pile of old shirts that need to have something done to them - this sounds perfect!

    I love all of your buttons! My favorites are the two medium buttons without the bark. Lovely. Thanks for the opportunity! :)

  11. Such lovely yarns you've got on the go there. Button making is a blast, isn't it? And I've got a garbage bag full of old t-shirts waiting to be turned into yarn.
