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
It was a day to get a lot accomplished. I went to the bank, shopping, the library, gas station and then came home to clean, do laundry and organize. I am tired, but energized. You gotta love the feeling of getting things done. After an eventful day, burgers sounded like a great dinner and grilling sounded even better. There was a small problem...do you see the picture of my grill? In the wonderful winter world of Minnesota there are many things that are still buried under the massive snow drifts, my grill being one of them. Oh well, at least we have a Foreman grill, it's not the same, but what choice did I have. My new mantra is think summer!
Next topic the final felt wall hanging. It is assembled and now hanging in my living room. It is definitely cheerful and fun to look at. I have to tell you about the little hangers that I used. First of all they are reasonably priced and make hanging anything from curtains to quilts easy. These clips will not damage the item that you are displaying and they eliminate the need for sewing extra pockets or loops. I highly recommend them. The ones I used are simple, but you can also get more decorative ones. Hope you had a great Saturday, check out my blog again tomorrow!
