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.

This morning before I went to work, my mom called and asked if I would want some headbands that she didn't use anymore. Of course the answer was yes, so she dropped off a bag full of headbands and other miscellaneous hair accessories. After work, I started to sort through the bag when an idea hit me. Embellishing a simple headband could be fun and a great blog post. Using the ever useful felt that is always around, I cut out different shapes to experiment with. At first felt was going to be the only material used but it needed something more. In the box o' buttons there is also assorted beads and such. These beads have different shades that catch the light and look really cool. The light blue middle is a nice contrast to the darker beads. 
Beading is not a hobby that ever appealed to me before this blog. It was relaxing and fun tonight to just sew them on create something so simple but beautiful. This could be another addicting craft for me!
