Button Necklace

In the new economy, many of us are going to be more frugal. I already knit, darn socks sometimes ( yes, you read correctly), make most of my food from scratch and now I have a use for all those orphaned buttons. A button necklace! A Martha Stewart creation. It actually looks interesting and more economical than buying all the beads that some people use. I do admire beading and have a friend who teaches beading and makes wonderful creations but so far it has not claimed my interest. Remember, I did not say that I would not wear a beaded necklace. Love to wear them. Now, buttons that is good and I can do that.

This will be part of my plan to clear up clutter which has accumulated the past few years and restore order. My goal is to have it all cleared up and sorted by the summer. Life does not stop and I can only devote short periods of time to this. I did empty at least 20 files yesterday. They had material that was obviously no longer of interest, use or could be found elsewhere. I should take a before and after picture but the before would be frightening.

Don't be surprised if the next gift that you get from me is a button necklace!
