I Do Try. Really. I Do.


Am I the only one who watches Carol Duvall on HGTV in the morning? I don't watch it 'live' but skim through it quickly to see if there is a segment that interests me. Friday, Salley Mavor was one of her guests. I have her book, but watching her make a 'wee folk' certainly helped motivate me to start making some. I made these early attempts with what I had on hand. I like them, but they do need to have better hair.
I found these tiny salt and pepper shakers and thought that they would make cute vases for button flowers.
I had some pastel buttons in a different shaker that Jonge found yesterday. He thought they smelled wonderful. I spent a lot of time yesterday smelling them just to see how excited he got about them. To be honest with you, they smelled like buttons.




Anyway. I made these while watching an episode of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" on TLC. I never feel so tired about my day after I watch that.
It's snowy and cold again.
AGAIN.
