Miss Buttons

I met Angela at a CAE course last year.... she produces lovely little Sew-Your-Own kits for Miss Buttons; these represent just one part of her many creative pursuits. The kits are available at shops such as Douglas and Hope and Genki in Melbourne, as well as online. Looks like a good little project for a rainy day!

Lara's Kirin Notebook is also full of lovely ideas ....

I bought one of my favourite books at Anagram in Prague in 2001, and I found these images on Monica Calvo's lovely blog.
