A new addition to my button addiction !!!!

My lovely friend was out shopping the other day and spotted these button covering kits . Knowing my addiction to buttons she bought me a couple of packets . My friend who doesn't sew or even blog (what the heck is wrong with some people?) just knew I would like them . I haven't covered buttons for a long time and now I can't stop thinking of all the things that NEED a covered button or two . What do you use them for ?

I'm feeling a little orange today !

I've had this vague idea simmering in my little brain of a gift I'd like to make for a friend so I popped into the scrapbooking shop to pick up some odds and ends for my project . Well I collected a lot of pink items and then changed my mind and went for blues . Then I went for the purples and then some greens . Finally.... I went for oranges ! It all cost me a fortune so this little item had better work out . I will show you when it's finished that is unless I change my mind again ! I'd love to hear your reaction to the colours and what your favourites are .
