Tonight I am hosting a cocktail party in honour of Robin's 50th birthday. I did one for her 40th too. I made her this mixed media piece, using many scraps of fabric that she had given me (plus some of my own) and on it I sewed 50 buttons into the shape of a heart. I gave it to her a few weeks ago on her actual birthday. I hope that she liked it.....

What a wonderful birthday gift. Love the idea of using her fabric and the buttons. I'm sure she will cherish it.
My sister is having a 50 this year. We are having a party in Palm Springs. I may just steal your idea. Hope you don't mind.
Martha, this is gorgeous! If she didn't like it, I will take it. :)
I had a good snoop around your blog - I know exactly what you mean when you talk about the struggle between the fun and funky and the darker more vintagey - but can't we do both?!
Thanks for dropping by my blog the other day and leaving such a nice comment - the bird thanks you too!
Cindy :)
