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
I have an embroidery pattern of southwestern designs. The one I chose to make was the Indian for two reasons. The first is that I am part native American and so is my mom the recipient of this pillow. The second is that the decor of her home is southwestern. So, I embroidered the design on muslin and bought a remnant of fabric to coordinate with it. Using a rotary cutter I trimmed the fabric and sewed together the pillow. The project was budget friendly and also very appropriate for my mom's home.
