And I started it. Also on my calendar project, but I have to change something there, so for now I'm working on the challenge piece.

Just a reminder that the 15th is nearly upon us. I have decided what I want to do; now I just have to figure out how to execute my design. I've been sidelined by illness, but now that I feel human again, I'm going to work on it today. Dawn

And it's here, but I still haven't finished my calendar project, so I'm not sure how quickly my item will be done.

I am almost done and I'm really happy with how it's turned out. Tomorrow, I just have to add jump rings and finish. Hoping I'll be able to photograph my project before it gets dark out so I can post it. Dawn

I'm not being a tease. I'm building suspense and anticipation.

Or in other words ... you are a tease. It's what you always call me.

Well, wouldn't that be something? Maybe we'd be able to see where all those amazing, creative ideas of yours are formed. Dawn

I think it would be cool! Not the mess, but just seeing how the inside of your head works. Dawn

Lots of dirty little gears. How much longer are you going to make me stay up? *tapping my fingers*

OK, enough fooling around. Here is my challenge piece. I thought about it long and hard and finally decided to use some pretty pearly buttons I had on hand. I made hats from black felt and ribbon and their scarves are from the same ribbon as well, so they match. The black buttons are black sequins I found in my stash. I didn't even know I had any black sequins! Because their hats sit so high, I decided to make post earrings rather than adding ear wires. I had some silver paddle head pins, so I bent them at a 90 degree angle, epoxied them to the back of the button heads and cut the excess wire off leaving just enough to make a post. Then the metal posts didn't want to stick to the buttons, so I used sand paper to rough up the smooth metal and tried again. They seem to be firmly attached now. They measure two inches in length and one inch in width at their widest point. Overall, I'm quite happy with how they turned out. Cat, you can go to bed now. Dawn
