Busy month

This has been a very busy month.  I decided at the last minute that I am going back to school after taking 15 yrs off.  I've been very lax at posting as my interests are eclectic at best.  Reading has been taking up a lot of time.  I'm on book 5 of the Game of Throne series, A Dance with Dragons.  Each of George Martin's books is longer then the last and what an author.  If you've caught the HBO series of Game of Thrones, pick up the book, there are whole sections that they took word for word.  I'll try and post more soon, hopefully with a few hair pics (that is as soon as I get it cut again).

Take care of you and don't give up on me, I'll be back soon! 

Button, button whos got the button?

My family is having my grandparents estate auction this weekend.  I went down last weekend and helped move a loom my grandfather redid from an antique loom (that was beyond it's last leg).  It's in the sale, I kinda wish it wasn't but oh well.

Mom took me in the house and her and I went through Grandma's fabric and a few other things.  I took her box of buttons, thus this post.  I started looking at them this evening and sorting them.  I need to do some research on Bakelite buttons, I think I may have a few.  One tip I learned from her box of buttons.  Any time you are throwing something out that is worn through, cut those buttons off first.  I have a HUGE pile that I'm needing to cut the fabric off.

So far I've been sorting for over an hour, and wow.  WOW.  If your Grandparents are around, give them a hug (then offer to help clean out a closet!)
