This is my quick card for Ellen's challenge - a quick tip: use DMC embroidery floss versus regular thread for threading your buttons - the multiple, layered skeins of the DMC floss give a speedy, nice, layered thread appearance and make it look like you did more work than you actually did!
A quirky story about my mom: My mom has always been into fiber arts. Growing up we had several spinning wheels and two looms - and I was taught how to dye, card, spin then weave wool into garments. Mom would purchase local sheep fleeces after the sheep had been shorn, then spend her day washing them in Woolite and rinsing and cleaning them while my brother and I were in school. My brother and I would come home to fleece upon fleece drying on towels, covering practically every surface of our family room. I remember the wonderful, clean Woolite scent, and trying to explain to my perplexed friends why there were big, fluffy (albeit wonderful scented) piles around while we did homework! hee!
