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
Black and white is a favorite combination of mine. This is a great fabric that I found a while ago at Hancock Fabrics. It has a girl power decade motif from the 50's to the 2000's. From the moment I saw it, it was meant to be! For a few months now, it has resided in my fabric bin until today when this idea came to mind. The smaller of the two had almonds in it originally and the taller was just an empty canister bought at the Goodwill. For the smaller one, I covered it in a circle design fabric and then added the decade black and white motif as a pincushion topper. The tall canister was first covered in a black and white polka dot print and then I cut out the decade motifs and adhered them to that fabric. At this point in time the taller canister has no specific purpose other than general storage but the smaller one is my new safety pin holder. I did add a fun black and yellow taste to the one canister for a bit of interest.
