Progress so far

I was so hopeful at the start of the year and I'm happy to report that a certain amount of progress has been made. It took awhile to sort out the craft room, amazing how much time that takes. I recently was given some small aluminium buckets which I will use to sort my ever growing button collection. My new sewing machine arrived yesterday so I have threaded it and sewn a straight line but that's as far as I've got as I'm still reading all the ins and outs in the manual. It sews buttons too! which when you sew as many as I do is really good news. Below are some pictures of a pin brooch made from felt, it was a test one, I want to make some more so that I can throw them in a hot wash to see what happens.
