Well, having looked up buttons on Wiki I found myself, within five seconds, analysing my hands for a possible  deformity known as boutonnière’s.  Beware the internet my son, to paraphrase Lewis Carroll.   Did you know that the word chortle comes from his poem?  I didn’t.  So, on to the matter in hand, a creative project has unfurled before me, that has not happened in a long time.  I still have mum’s button box, and have decided to liberate some of the contents.  Finished articles may or may not be revealed soon.
