wasting time?

I was just visiting the blog of a wonderfully fun artist..

She is on of my favorites!

Mary Englebreit

 On her last post she wrote,

"The time you enjoy wasting, is

NOT wasted time"

Along with the quote she has thee cutest artwork

of a boy laying on the grass looking up at the sky

If you have a minute, go take a look...click

The cousins in Gig Harbor searching for

"sea life"

Sometimes.... we need to think like children

to really enjoy life... =)

When was the last time you "thought" you might be

wasting time...but, it turned out to be one of your

best times?

Buttonhead...who is she? (edited)

OMGosh...I am kind of a crazeee!
I had this post in draft (from eeee-yahns ago)...
and, I must have "bumped" a "button" and 
swooosh...it posted.  I need to add a few things, tho

First, this is a poem from a book called
Sonnets in My Bonnets by Loralie Designs 
I just LUV her stuff! I have most of her fabrics!
Of course, I can't find the book right this minute 
to show you a picture of the actual book but if you
click HERE it will take you to a site that is selling
the book...it is "out of print" at this time.  =(      

This is one of my favorite poems from the book....


 Cute as a button, everyone said

       As she lay there so sweetly

     In her pink baby bed.  
   

Then as she grew                     

Years put on a few             

Playing with Buttons               

Her favorite thing to do.
   

    At grandmas she'd string them

Like beads just for fun       

Red yellow blue                      

Bright pink one by one.
    

Then when she was four         

  Buttons still more               

Buttonhead loved them          

For her decor    
             

         Buttons on lampshades             
     And on her drawers         
      Button framed mirrors  
            
     In her closet on hangers          
           And on hooks just for looks
  Stored them in jars                  
     And in files and in books

               Over the years her button love grew      
     And her collection                    
 To lots...from just a few
         
                  Long story...short                                   
      I need to report  
                   
                Now, when you see her...out on the town 
                         Her handbag, her jewelry...                                
And, even her gown    
       
       Will be covered with buttons       
           From her head to her toes       
                                       Buttonhead wears them wherever she goes

Miss Buttonhead

Do you collect buttons?  Do you sort them?
If so, how do you sort them?  or do you just store them?
Tommorrow I will show you some of my
Buttons! 
and...you'll be GRATE-FULL to know that
...it WON'T be the one in the middle of meeee
ol' tummy!
