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.

Here is a quick cute project that is great for felt scraps. Take two pieces of felt, cut out U shape and then at the top cut a smaller U for ears.

I like to use a contrasting color of embroidery floss to make the stitches stand out more. Hot glue a magnet to the back and you have some adorable owls to hang out on your fridge. You don't need to go to the store to buy magnets, use the ones that come in the mail with all of those coupons that you never use or the ones that you have accumulated from friends and family that are attached to their business cards. I told you to look for more owls and I still have more owl ideas to come. Keep reading!
