27, Has knitting lace ever killed anyone? Really. This is not a rhetorical question. I'm serious. Has it?

March 19, 2007 04:41 PM
So, let's get some close ups of those buttons, shall we? Is it wrong to love buttons so? Should my husband be jealous of intense button love? Finding the right buttons gives me great pleasure. These buttons are not just closure, they are a fashion accessory. A statement. I'm saying... more -»
