Weekend Happenings + Novelty Buttons

The weather this weekend was split – Saturday it rained all day and Sunday was warm and sunny.  If the rain had any thoughts about keeping me indoors on Saturday, it was wrong.  In my car I always keep a set of emergency poncho’s (you never know when you might need one).  I took one out, put it on, and began planting in the rain!  However, I’m not sure I would recommend this practice because even though the poncho was very thin, I became really hot quickly.  It’s amazing what an insulator plastic can be.

On Sunday, we met up with friends and  family to celebrate our daughters 2nd birthday.  I made arrangements at a popular restaurant chain that caters to children’s birthdays.  While I think she had a wonderful time, I will never make plans to eat there again as the food was borderline unpalatable.  We ordered pizza’s and breadsticks and I can honestly say that the cheapest frozen grocery store pizza and breadsticks outshine what this place could make any day.  I am so glad that I brought a cake – at least we had that to eat.

I’ve been working on a few different projects when I came across these really fun fabric novelty buttons from M&J.  I wish that I could incorporate one of these little buttons into one of my current projects but I will have to reserve it for a future idea.  They have a bunch of different fabric buttons ranging from fish to frogs and cats to circus animals.
