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
One of my cousins is pregnant and the baby shower is in a week. I debated what to do for her and finally decided on a Teddy Bear. I posted about this pattern previously but this time, my fabric selection is a bit different. From my favorite, the Goodwill, I got a denim curtain panel for 1.49. The fabric is really soft and was plenty to make two bears, one for another friend due later this year. Instead of just using the obvious 'front' of the fabric, I reversed some of it. It has a great two-toned effect. For an extra bit of interest I added a few patches on the bear. My cousin is waiting to find out if she is having a boy or girl, so with the denim it work for either. I still need to add a ribbon around the neck, but haven't found anything I like yet. Most likely it will be red or blue. Hope she likes it!
