YO!

Here are some yo-yo buttons, yo!  Also, here's a good video on how to make them.  Basically, take a circle of fabric, sew a running stitch, gather, and embellish.  Super easy... make a ton!  Right now!

Dream!

I would LOVE to be "dreaming" right about now, but... I.  can't.  sleep.  Waaaa! 

The Hammer!

We have been to LA a million times in the last few years and not once have we gone to The Hammer Museum. This needs to change, especially now since I have my student ID and I can get in for free! :)

Anyway, during this last LA trip I got to meet up with the coolest people ever, my super artistic friends... Amanda and Jorge who were checking out The Hammer!!! It was a short visit, but it was so good to see them. It’s been years and I miss them terribly, but they are doing amazing things! In college I had some art classes with Jorge and met up with Amanda in ceramics and the art studio. I would seriously be in there until the wee hours making art and I loved every minute. I was given this button from Jorge and it’s perfect! I wear it on a jacket and my students always comment on it.

Here’s the famous button and some others that I made from pictures taken when I went to Ireland!

Owls...

for my aunt!
