Wow Artlady.
Wow.
And a Kitchen fire. How'd you do that? (And if you say you left a pan of hot oil on the stove I will have to smack your hands).
With the buttons, I was going to say brass, but with a young kid that may not be smart, but then I thought of novelty buttons. You know, shaped like bows, or ladybirds, or dogs (Or trains or firetrucks-Goes well with the red and the boy theme)
And Does anyone know a trick to craming more stitches on a needle?
My 10mm's are crammed with 62 stitches and I'm meant to increase to 82

. problem is I only have an Inch left of room, and I can't seem to get the stitches to cram any more.
*Sigh* And this project will use up so much stash too
