Buttons or Pearls

Happy Thursday everyone. I hope that amid these scary times that you are finding enjoyment in your crafting and, where possible, enjoying the sun for a little while at least. Being fairly isolated, as we are, the animals still need tending so it is pretty much business as usual. I am still at work at the local surgery but have made the decision not to ride away from home. 

Anyway, I have a sunny little James to share today to inspire you to join us at


A simple theme this time...Buttons or Pearls. I had a tricky decision really as I have many colours of both but went with buttons as centres of the flowers.


He was coloured with Promarkers and actually looks a little washed out, shouldn't complain though as it was the first time in months that I was able to take a photograph outside!!

Stay safe and keep well everyone xx

Love a little bit of James the bear too Sarah, tres cute. My drawers are stuffed with buttons and pearls from when I first started so perhaps I should dig them out!
The weather has been glorious here too, and like you we are pretty isolated. Its been a pleasure to walk the dog and watch the lambs frolicking. Keep safe. :)

How very strange Sarah, your post above came up on my reading list, popped over and found this one which didn't (been back to double). It's a sweet bear card.
