Valentine Button Heart
Made this for my daughter. I thought it was a way to display some of my button stash, instead of leaving them in a closed box.

Elephant Stuffy Toy
This is an elephant stuffy toy that I made from a flat drawing of an elephant. It is small about 3-1/2" tall and about 5" long. I am pleased with how it turned out.

Scotty McSpotty.
This is a pattern from Melly and Me. This is the cutest little stuffed dog. I had this spotted fabric in my stash, and added buttons instead of making felt eyes. I have a thing for buttons...see my monogram letter C and heart made from buttons I did for my daughter who moved off to college this past fall. I will try to get a better picture.

Button Monogram
Made this for my daughter. I used the computer and printed out the letter. I made it to fit on an 11x8-1/2 sheet of paper. Cut out and traced the outline onto cotton fabric using chalk. There are approximately 104 buttons, which are all hand stitched using DMC thread. Then stretched it onto a 12 x 12 canvas and stapled it on the back side. The ribbon is also stapled to the back in each corner. The hanging ribbon was also stapled in place.
Wonder what else I can use the handy staple gun for. :-)
