Ya know how ya see someone else wearing something cute
and you buy it but
when ya put it on...wa, wa, wa.... disappointment:(
So it was with the little neutral sweater
that fit all my requirements.
Neutral so I could wear it with anything,
warm so I would wear it with everything,
cheap enough so I could justify buying it
and my daughter Sarah liked it
and she had one in black
that I've worn more than once.
So why don't I wear this one?
Because it's the same color as me.
Boring boring beige!!!
I think I was thinking
I would put a fun pin on
or jewelry with it
but the design around the yoke
doesn't really lend itself to that
although a fun brooch could work.
The earthiness of the sweater
didn't play well
with my sparkle pins I own though.
The solution?
Buttons!
I had Lois Perry,
world renowned (or should be)
button maker, potter and multi-media artist,
not to mention great friend,
(oooppsss! I mentioned it)
made me these fab buttons to play with!
What a difference they make don't ya think?
I LOVE them.
They are hand made ceramic
and I just tied them on with green crochet cording.
Now, I had intentions of stitching a fun playful vine pattern around the yoke and adding all sorts of other flower shaped buttons to really fill up the shoulder area but...
I kind of like it this way.

Okay, I love the sweater with the new buttons. I would not add another thing. It's wonderful the way it is.
