Well hello there!!
Loooooong time, no chat!!
Leighelle's nursery is SO close to being done...never mind she is two months old... :-) All we need to do is hang some items we already have. I think Mitch is afraid (as am I) to put holes in the newly painted/wallpapered walls.
My mom gave me an old mason jar FULL of old buttons from my Grandmother and Great Grandmother. I have been wanting to do something with them for months now. I decided that I wanted to shape them into an L on a canvas for Leighelle's room. The finished product is below!
The steps I did it in were NOT the best...but I will share:
1.) Picked out the buttons I thought were cool.
2.) Drew a cursive L on a white canvas.
3.) Laid out the buttons how I wanted them (the last picture).
4.) Spray painted (the only thing I had in the house that was pink) the other canvas.
5.) TRIED to lay the buttons out into the L in the same fashion by eyeballing my first layout. (I should
have painted, drew the L, THEN put the buttons on). Ah well.
I like my first layout better, but it turned out ok in the end. Scroll down to see what products I used to complete this easy speesy project.

XO, K & E
