The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
Here is another cutting board that I found at a thrift store for a few bucks. I used bright red and then cut out a tree stencil for the design. I painted the tree in white and then made quilt-like shapes in shades of green. Outlined them in white and made different patterns in each block. A splash of green dots and gold swirls around the tree and you have a simple holiday wall/door hanging. With the addition of a candy cane striped ribbon to finish it off.
