I've bored you to death before about my obsession with buttons. You know, the way I like to gaze at them adoringly and run my fingers through them in a slightly crazed way? Well, dear readers, I've pulled myself together and I've actually been making button rings.
A red button ring:
Don't be too distracted by my old biddy hands now, will you? |
I'm very pleased with them, I have to say. Soooo easy to do. The only disaster I had was with my absolute favourite big red wooden button which, I realised too late, was far too heavy for the ring base. Although it seemed stuck fast, it wasn't and it fell off in Sainsbury's car park never to be seen again. Boo hoo!
Inspired by Lakota's and Desiree's lego loveliness, I've also been raiding Little Miss J and P's lego stash and lo and behold, look what I've done:
Little Miss J and P is the hand model here |
Yay, a lego ring!
And if you like one that's a bit bigger (ooh er missus):
Do you know what the best thing about lego rings is? You can play with them. Big time.
Liking the pink lego a lot |
Some people just don't know when to stop do they?
Wowser! A very big octopus. |
Harry Potter |
