embroidered button swap #2

So, it's 11:42 pm as I'm writing this.  Still Sunday, right?

I went to the Animal Fair
The birds and beasts were there
The old baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair

The monkey he got drunk
Fell over the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed, fell down on his knees,
But what became of the monk, the monk, the monk?

For the second round of the Embroidered Button Swap, the theme is going to be Animal Fair.  Like last time,
we'll be embroidering buttons of approximately 1" (the 7/8" ones are fine, too), but this time you can cross stitch, French knot or whatever you want, but the subject needs to be anything related to animals.  Each participant will be sending me six embroidered buttons (this is one more than in the first swap), and you'll be getting back 6 different ones, all from different people.  The variety is incredible, and these little gems are very very fun and addicting to make.  You'll need to sign up by March 10, and mail all buttons to me along with a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope by May 10. 

If you want to play along, just email me (the link is in the top left sidebar) with your name, mailing address and blog address if you have one.  If you're not in the States, just let me know, you can still join in, we'll just work something out to cover the cost of postage.

Oh, and I didn't forget about the giveaway, we actually have three winners.  The Random Number Generator picked numbers 2 and 10, Mirre and Regina.  But Regina already has one of my robot buttons, so I'm going to embroider a new button for her, and the second robot goes to Jessica.  Yay!  Send me your address, gals, and I'll get these buttons in the mail right away.

Okay, now it's past Sunday.  Bummer.  Sorry!

Your buttons are way cool! I might have to try my hand at a button before I sign up for the swap. :)

So cute! I don't think I can match these. But I'm in anyway.

Hey, the idea I was mulling over in my mind was an animal idea! I am in.

Tee-hee...cute.

Love the buttons and the swap...wish that I could participate...but things are so crazy here. I woke up this morning with the realization that...the move is only 4 months away and we have to sell our house....aaaahhhhhh! Oh my. Feeling a bit of pressure at the moment. Pooh...but I will have to try to make the next button swap!!!

YAY!! Thank you! I am so surprised by the give-away! You really don't have to make me a whole new one. You are so so sweet though!I'm just so excited to see my name after the word "winners".

The animal theme will be so fun!!

The animal buttons are wonderful!! They are so beautifully stitched. And I'm so glad you included the words to the "Animal Fair". My mom used to sing that when I was little and it would make a great addition to a scrapping page with some ancient zoo photos.
