Because This Dress Kept Losing Buttons

-


I have finally gotten around to replacing all of them. This morning I was choosing between making my blog rounds or sewing the new buttons by hand. I chose the latter. Hehe. Because it's Friday, I wanted the option of wearing this dress other than my usual jeans and shirt combo. And I don't usually wear a dress because of numerous reasons, one of them is when a dress is missing a button or two. Now I've gotten that out of the way... We'll see.

The buttons are kinda off color but that's the closest shade of green I could get my hands on. So... there.

    Lol I have that problem too and I soo hate sewing buttons too. You could put clear nail polish on the buttons with the sewn thread so that they won't get loose

      i guess the buttons used these days are not durable enough to withstand the washing machine. buti na lang i can sew. i just have to prod myself to get it done right away.

    Although the color is off, I don't think its awkward. It still looks good in the picture. Nice idea you have there to get rid of the buttons that kept getting loose. :D

    Oh i so hate this. I've done that also changing the buttons to a different one though I had it changed in one of the tailoring shop here in Dubai as I don't know where I can buy buttons. And I guess I will do what Marie had advised, to put clear nail polish on the button. :-)

      it's a chore... i guess the buttons become loose when the apparel is machine-washed. so putting clear nail polish could actually stop the threads from unraveling.

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It

by Linnor When the boys are home, their room doesn't stay as orderly as the pic above.  Mistulang binagyo kapag silang lahat ay nasa loob ng kanilang asul na kwarto. :) Merong nag-gigitara, merong nagko-kompyuter at merong naglalaro ng Lego.  Sa madaling sabi, pag nasa silid sila, talagang di maiiwasan ang pagiging makalat nito.  :P Anyway, at least nasa bahay lang sila at hindi nagbabarkada sa labas. Pero sa totoo lang, after a long day at work or from school, it's always nice to come home to a clean house.  Ang sarap magpahinga sa maayos na kabahayan pagkatapos ng mahabang araw  di ba?
