Love it! LOL
Your *mini buttons*...Button Scrooge! Love it! LOL<br /><br />Your *mini buttons* are 1:6 scale. Think fashion dolls, such as Barbie, Fashion Royalty, some action figures and others in the 12-inch range. I'm not a Scrooge with most buttons (a few exceptions and those purchased for specific projects/fabrics). Those tiny buttons can be a bit pricey, so I do plan their use carefully! Now, my sewing tools... ;-) <br /><br />Your crocheted--cozy?--is sweet. Looks like anything you put on it is snuggling into it! :-)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...Taja<br /><br />Replying from The Valley on the Surface of the Sun (greater Phoenix, Arizona, area). Not quite, but we're expecting high temps above 115F degrees with overnight lows in the low to mid 90s for the next few days. Sorry! It's too early in the morning to convert to Celcius!Tajanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768477638418453764.post-67195552313630459902021-06-13T19:06:29.068+02:002021-06-13T19:06:29.068+02:00Thank you also for your email reply to the comment...Thank you also for your email reply to the comment I left on your “Love and Care” post.

I have even made my own Dorset buttons, which I turned into brooches. I had a huge box of buttons, collected from Grandma and Mum, but they mysteriously disappeared when we moved over, so gutted.
