Buttons, do you have any?

I do. I thought I had lots of buttons, but now I'm questioning such a belief. I had a slow start this morning, but managed to get into the sewing room just after lunch. I am working on a swap today. It's a little bit secret and it needs buttons. Once I got up to the button part I confidently got out my lots of buttons. Hmm... I don't seem to have the right ones! It was a bit of a shock! So it looks like a trip to Spotlight is in order. For buttons you know. I have to go! See you later!

Hello November, a Public Holiday, and a Transformation.

Today is a public holiday here in Victoria. A public holiday in honour of a horse race. I was happy to have the holiday although I didn't watch the horse race at all. Oh. And it's November. Hard. To. Believe. Christmas is almost here which means that 2012 is just moments away. Oh well, this year has just flown for me. I am going to take a leaf out of the "Blogtober" book and attempt to blog more often so I can remember better all the things that just fly by! Today has been a day of buttonholes for me and hopefully this evening will be an evening of buttons! Mrs 27 has been busy sewing whilst visiting and I am doing the buttons and buttonholes for her. (You can see her sewing here.) Oh. And I did finish the lounge room transformation. Here is the proof!

The new sit and do space.  Mr 11 was building a flat pack for me. I stapled fabric to the inside of the "Billy" doors to hide the stuff. I like the cupboards much better now.

The TV and sitting area (with the superhero, The Blur!)

The TV and sitting area without The Blur. My sewing room is to the right of this picture through a large opening. It's floor space and the sitting room's floor space combine to make it feel like one larger space. It's not for everyone, but having my sewing area in the center of our family living seems to work best for us.
