Just a few photos to make you smile.
.
Granddaughter is learning how to use a camera.
What is so cute about this photo is I bought the hat she is wearing several years ago.
It wa a last minute gift I found at Walgreens.
It is a kitty hat and when you squeeze the paws in front the tail flips up.
She has worn it for three years. You never know what gift they will love the best.
These are some of her first photos. Not too shabby for a 6 year old.
I took these from the computer so they are somewhat grainy.
Japanese Son post them so they have his name on the photos.
Of course I love this one the best.
.
I wanted daughter and roommates to have something to open before they visit
after Christmas. Gifts will be open then.
I started to work on these pillows over 15 years ago and just put them away unfinished.
I love buttons and have jars and bowls of them.
Last night I finished the pillows and will send them off tomorrow.
They are all hand stitched but I found out my fingers do not work as they once did.
They came out cute but as I said I love buttons !
I wrap gifts and tie string and bows with buttons, glue them on boxes
and cut tin ornaments.
.
They have 3 cats and one dog so even if these Christmas Trees get knocked over,
I am sure the cats can not hurt them.

Here is your pretty to start the week.
Mech-Godzilla likes Christmas Trees.

I have tons of buttons too. I've been trying to sell them by the jar full at my booth. Cute way to use them.
ReplyDeleteI would have bought them !
DeleteI adore those buttony things - you really are so clever and artistic.
ReplyDeleteCute little button Christmas Trees.
DeleteI love them
She has a really good eye! Not surprised proud dad posted them. And that hat is wonderful - I'd have loved it too as a little girl!
ReplyDeleteShe is very artistic and fun !
DeleteButton Christmas trees are gorgeous. Clever idea.
ReplyDeleteThank You.
Deleteit is a project the school did at Christmas with the 5 grade student . Not my children though. It is fun but I just set it away.
So creative! And I love Mecha-Godzilla!
ReplyDeleteGODZILLA ! ! !
DeleteCutest Christmas pillows, ever and I can't stay away from your wonderful blog for long! Hugs and Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHugs right back at you !
DeleteI hope you got your card !
Her shot of the lizard particularly catches my eye. Mecha-Godzilla makes me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYes Godzilla is a fluffy bunny who loves Christmas.
DeleteThe photos are very good for a new photographer. I love her hat.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It was just at Walgreens and I tossed it in box for fun. She loves that hat.
DeleteBe still my heart, Mech-Zilla you are wonderful
ReplyDeleteI thought of you when I posted this. I have another huge Godzilla all covered in lights in the mall. So very funny.
DeleteVery fun.
ReplyDeleteLittle ones make everything better.
DeleteLove your buttons, too. What fun. As for my coats ...
DeleteI donated a big warm winter coat a few months back. But I kept the other coat that I love.
My rule: If I don't wear it, it's gone, gone, GONE.
I have many jars of old buttons too! I'm stealing your idea! Excuse me....must run and go buy some green felt. X
ReplyDeleteNo lie ! run fast ! ! !
DeleteI "took" the idea from the Elementary School.
Hint Just figure out where the side go and don't put buttons there. If you sewing machine is working mine is not you can sew the edges together faster than I did. I didn't have any stuffing so I tore up plastic bags.
I made smaller ones and gave them as tree ornaments or small decorations one year.
They are lots of fun to make.
Good luck !
Those are adorable! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you, they are fun to make and really very easy.
DeleteI love buttons.
I love buttons too! What a cool festive idea to use them.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter's pictures are fantastic, I love your button pillows and Mech-Godzilla as well!
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter has a good eye for pictures.
ReplyDeleteI am another button fan, since I was the age of your granddaughter and liked to play with my Mom's button box. Now I have my own button box, and am always adding to it.
Those decorated trees are fabulous. xo
Loving the Christmas trees!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet your granddaughter has been wearing that hat for three years. She must really love it :-) Her photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your pillows. Those star shaped buttons are adorable!
Thanks for the smiles. No wonder your granddaughter loves that hat so much; it's adorable! And so is she. Looks like you're gonna have another photographer in the family. :)
ReplyDeleteThose pillows are really cute. I have a TON of old buttons... some are more than sixty years old. (Hey! Ya never know when one of them might come in handy...)
Our daughter was really into hats when she was younger. Not so much now. It's funny. We were just talking about it recently after not giving it much thought for years.
ReplyDeleteI too have lots of buttons.......been looking this morning and I surely must have enough craft materials to see me through 2017 - sounds like a project to me.
ReplyDeleteAww...your granddaughter took some good photos and of course the one she did it of herself made me laugh...didn't we all did that at some point?
ReplyDeleteHello Parsnip, your granddaughter makes some pretty pictures. Love the button Christmas trees.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Roos
