making

I have a huge cold... sniff-sniff,

but I did finished a couple of things:

a new teacosy and a cushion.

I sorted out the box of buttons that belonged to my mum

and went on memory lane mode looking at some buttons, especially the metallic ones.

Anita helped me and now she has her own little box of precious, sparkling buttons

or as she says in italian "sbrilluccichi".

I told her a bit about my mum, little stories about the buttons and how as a child I

spent hours sorting them. 

I guess my mum was a button freak too.

Then the sun came out and I realised how neglected the windows are...

The white flowers (which I like so much) are fresias but I can't smell anything!

(Please, have a look at the last link, some of the images are amazing
especially towards the end! there's a link at the bottom to see more).
