It seems that the boys' birthday presents from us this year consisted of gorgeous buttons...with things to go under them.
A few months ago I got my favorite
button maker to make us some special buttons for each child. While I was ordering them I also found these wonderful fishing buttons,
perfect for a fisherman's jumper.
The buttons I ordered for Benny were of course cowboys
I made him a cowboy waistcoats out of upcycled fleece to go under them,
complete with a sheriff's badge.
He was pleased and wore his new cowboy clothes all day
Joa got Dogger buttons. His special wee toy is a little plush dog that looks like this.
I made Joa's waistcoat out of a felted upcycled jumper.
Oh how I love buttons :-) and how I love these little boys (
as I type this Joa is sitting on my knee pointing to the above picture of him saying 'nohnah' which means snotter ;-P)
Lol at Joa! Lovely buttons :)
ReplyDeletehe's so proud to be able to say snotter lol
