http://thewool-n-button.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 23, 2014. My son is not a big fan of cake. Even birthday cake, his own birthday cake, will go uneaten. I honestly can't even remember the last time I actually made a birthday cake for him. Usually I just make up my chocolate chip cookies or a pan of brownies for his birthday party instead. This year I wanted to try out something I saw somewhere. facebook, likely. An Oreo cookie tucked inside of a chocolate chip cookie. Or is it a chocolate chip cookie wrapped around an Oreo? A little sn...

http://thewool-n-button.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Sunday, August 22, 2010. I must say, if it werent for all of the wonderful and inspiring blogs regarding reusing and refabing vintage items, I would never have bought this stupid chair. Just what I needed was another chair. In my imagination, I own this fascinating shop in some quaint and out of the way location. My shop is filled with all sorts of neat crafty type items. Most of those items would be salvaged off of vintage clothing. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Wool -N- Button: March 2014
http://thewool-n-button.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Good thing I Still Got My Marbles! This is a tote picked up at my local Salvation Army. I think I paid $1.50 for it because it was half off. It’s kind of a cute little tote but not quite my style. I knew with the coat of paint, it would be perfect to contain an in-progress project. The first thing I did was sand it. It would be a shame to get it perfectly painted only to have a raised impression of tulips show up. Then I ripped this in half to create two pieces. I did the same for...
