I think I'll use these cool little buttons my son made years ago from narrow eucalyptus branches. They have been soaked in oil, and should put up with hand washing OK. Don't they look like little smiley faces?
I hope to be able to wear the cape by Sunday, at the Short Circuit Scarf workshop I'm teaching!
Lily is going OK - she's not so groggy today, and has occasionally got up and hopped around on 3 legs. But she's mostly sleeping in her basket, curled up in the winter sunlight. Thanks for your well wishes, I've given her pats from all of you!
Those buttons are completely to die for. Good grief - the whole bunch of youse are incredibly talented artisans and artists!
