Spiders and Cats and Pumpkins-oh my!

It certainly is beginning to look a lot like Halloween around the Buttons By Robin store http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6310781. I'm busily making and adding Halloween (and even a few winter and Christmas) themed buttons. Halloween is fast becoming a very popular holiday in North America and I'm getting right into the "spirit" of things - no pun intended. There is something about spooky pumpkins, cats and even bats that bring out the child in all of us. I hope some of my buttons make it onto some wonderful Halloween outfits for people. I've even heard that some people are getting into sending out Halloween cards. I haven't done that yet but it's something to consider. What fun things do you do to celebrate the Halloween season?

Taking Some Me Time

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Buttons-By-Robin/96832189025# This is the link to my Buttons By Robin facebook page. I hope you'll drop by and see what I've been up to in my store. I have actually been taking a break from creating buttons for the past couple of weeks. I've been trying some new stuff just for me. I made a scarf (knitting) which is the first ever completed knitting project I've done. I also picked up some books on needle felting and tried my hand at a little bit of this today. My efforts were quite dismal I must admit. It sure does look a lot easier in the books than it is in real life. Isn't that always the way. Anyway I have been recharging my batteries and staying away from my Etsy store. I do have a couple of custom projects I need to do this weekend and I did manage to list some items today in my Etsy store. These were items I had made a couple of weeks ago but had not gotten around to listing. I have been enjoying my time away from button making but expect I will get back to it soon. I will leave you with a picture and link to my latest listings and hopefully will be back soon with some newly created buttons. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28669992. This link is to the tractor buttons listed here. As the mother of a son I know how hard it is to find cute items for boys. There are always lots of really cute things for little girls but not so much for boys. I think these would be a great little addition to a handmade item for a little farmer (boy or girl).
