Button Project Fail

This week for my Craft Month project I was going to make a button bowl. I saw a picture on Pinterest and thought "I can do that".
Well it started out fun and then the buttons began slipping down the balloon because of the glue. I guess Elmer's craft glue isn't the best to work with but its all I had. :(
I was so excited to make this button bowl. The one I saw was wicked cute! I have a lot of small buttons I haven't used and I thought this would be a great project. In my defense , the balloon round up pin didn't mention why type of glue to use. I really should have some tacky glue on hand. But hey, lesson learned.
I am not giving up that easily though. On my next outing to a craft store I'll pick up some tacky clue!
here is a link to a button bowl project ( I should of researched some before I started my project )

I popped the balloon too early :(
I also tries to make polymer clay button... I plan to invest in a button mold! But these aren't so bad.

YOP5 week 34

Motivation to finish my list is highly needed!! My hook challenge isn't doing too well. All those projects are holiday related and I've missed a few. Its silly to make Christmas items a few weeks before St, Patrick's day . But I did FINISH something thing week!! Guess how many skeins it took to finish this blanket? 

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
