See, Want, Make, Have!

I have a cool app on my iPad called Zite and it's like an online newspaper with different sections you can customize depending on your personal interests. My two current favorite sections? Why Knitting and Crocheting, of course! I love coming across interesting articles, ideas, and blogs. I especially like the cool free patterns many people post on the Internet and on their personal blogs. There is a certain kind of satisfaction from seeing something you want and being able to make yourself one ASAP!

A few days ago, I saw this cute little cuff on creativeyarn.blogspot.com and wanted to make it for myself. So last night, I did! Not only do I now have a sweet handmade bracelet but I was able to put some of my newly acquired vintage buttons to use.

This is the one on the blog I found. PS. The blog author is Italian  but she writes her blog in English which I  think is really cool! She has some other really cute patterns on her blog. Check it out!  

I like the bright color she chose and will probably make some, myself, in bright colors come spring/summer. 

Here's mine. I chose a brown for fall. But I'd really like one in red. 

These are two of the buttons I bought while antiquing with my sister in Warrenton, VA.
