So pretty! Are you making them for individuals or as a bouquet? Gifts or for yourself?

I haven’t gotten to anything yet, these heatwaves with high humidity are killing my mojo. How i envy those with central a/c!

The plan is lots of little bouquets as gifts. I’m committed to stash busting and I have A LOT of buttons!

You are welcome in my craft room! We had a couple of record-breaking hot summers, 2020 was especially bad. We just couldn’t cool our house down whatever we tried. I remember sitting in the little basement under the stairs because it was cooler there - Mr. Imma called it my Harry Potter room.

So when we started the renovation we tried to make our house easy to cool as well as easy to heat - cold tile floors, underfloor heating that can also cool, split a/c’s upstairs for heating and cooling. Solar panels to pay the energy bills. Well, guess what, we haven’t had hot weather since :laughing: at least this morning is starting with sunshine rather than more rain.

It is supposed to get pretty hot and humid this week over here. We only have A/C in the kids’ bedrooms because it would be too expensive to cool all of our big, old house. I just hope my kids aren’t too grumpy and miserable.

I finished a thing!

Next up, I’m finishing a thing that I started earlier this year. That won’t take a lot of time - just beading that I want to add to some cross stitch. So hopefully it will be done today.

Then - maybe that embroidered tablecloth that I’ve been working on for 10 years?

Thanks for the update. I assume you are counting my button flowers as a project? I will post photos of them in little vases when I get that far. I made flowers until I ran out of wire today. 83 total!

Three down and three or four more to go. I need to buy more wire so I can add more wire curlies and vertical stems from tiny buttons, but you get the general idea.

Not much crafting this week since going back to school this week, but I was happy to make these this afternoon/evening and add them to my collection for the end of the year.
