1) I belong to a "colour club" at work. I don't know how/why I was foolish enough to join the club...and now I can't be the first to drop out. Anyway, the short version - it all started when two girls happened to wear the same colour to the office. Now each day a colour is drawn to help determine what to wear the next day. Tomorrow is yellow day. Crap. I don't wear yellow. Last time we had "yellow day", I wore a necklace with some yellow beads and carried around a yellow mug. Apparently that didn't cut it. I stopped by the thrift store on the way home today and picked up a yellow shirt...but it isn't the greatest.
2) I've been meaning to try making a fabric covered button for awhile. And I saw some cool flowers on one of Heather Bailey's blog posts - so, I figured that I'd give it a go...make a yellow coloured brooch, test out the button maker, and use some felt flowers that I got as a 'gift' from one of my Etsy suppliers.
This is the result from my 1 hour of crafting.
Ok, it might be reading more pink/purple than yellow...the "colour club" rules are pretty loose.
The Crafting Widower wasn't too impressed. What do you think? Totally ugly? Does it look like an agricultural fair award, gone bad?
So, give me some feedback on my newest creation. Be honest. Don't worry, I'm not going to wear it tomorrow. I think I'll be wearing the yellow thrift store shirt, along with my yellow beaded necklace. I don't have the yellow mug anymore - it went to the thrifts when I was decluttering my life!
I'm not sure what I think...I htink there is a little too much going on for me. Hearts, birds and flowers is maybe a little too much? Not sure. Anyways, good on ya for trying it out.
