Gooseberry Patch Farmhouse Crochet & Buttons

This entry was posted on 3/12/2010 9:59 AM and is filed under uncategorized.

I seem to be captivated by buttons lately. The Love-Of-My-Life keeps laughing at me cause I keep coming home all excited from estate/yard sales with bags of buttons that I carefully sort through and place in mason jars. What am I going to do with them? Not a clue...

But maybe it isn't so strange that I also find myself captivated by the button-embellished market bag on the front cover of the newest book from our friends at Gooseberry Patch—Farmhouse Crochet.

Crochet is such a relaxing way to add handmade beauty to a home, and it's a way to make use of my button stash, so you-know-who will quit laughing at me! This wonderful collection of designs also includes potholders, an apron or a dishcloth. Plus, my entryway could use a farmstyle oval rug. There are also a variety of afghans and pillows; maybe I'll make one for every room in the house—and embellish them with buttons! Any of these crocheted items will add a little more fun to your home or that of a friend—even if you're not obsessed by buttons...like me.

  Actually, buttons, like marbles and coins and stamps, are beautiful creations in their own right. Art is in the eye of the beholder. Some day, during the "button" craze, you will be a wealthy woman. They said it couldn't happen with tulips or Florida real estate, but it did.
  
  Keep the collection going. You'll be glad you did.
