#leatherbuttons

There are few things I hate more than #wasting #materials So I started digging through my #scrap #leather and taking any pieces 6"×1" or longer and making them into #leatherbuttons and any round or oval pieces that were too small to use for other projects and stripping them into lace. Good way to kill some dead time when I'm too tiered to think but not ready to sleep. Also, less waste, and more materials to play with!

Look at what I found! A West Coast Tree Frog! Isn't he a beauty 😍! I am sitting outside , drinking tea, it is a lovely afternoon here. I am contemplating resurrecting an old project, a sweater for myself. It's been on hold for about 5 years. One of the buttons fell out of the bag! These aren't just any buttons - they are #vintage #leatherbuttons by @hemispherebutton company. And I only have 8. I had to look for it! And found it and the frog! The buttons are perfect for my vintage Aran Bainin (oiled Aran yarn), which I purchased when my daughter was a baby - 😂 35 years ago🤣!! #wip #resurrection #personalproject #aransweater #wool #wooladdict #buttons #cablesandlace #cables #treefrog #frog #letissierdesigns #wooladdict #yarnaddict #nevernotknitting #memadewardrobe #slowfasion #slowclothes (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_I6Gu8piJ-/?igshid=ch0p6sivh1en
