unexpected domesticity

i have an adorable sweater that has several crystal-like buttons.

one of them broke while i was in philadelphia. i remembered that it came with a spare and figured i'd take it to the cleaners when i got home for repair.

then i thought ... a button? i think i can handle it.

so, i tried ... and succeeded! the button sewing went so well that i re-did all of the buttons on the sweater because they were getting a little loose.

it's perfect now ... and i did it myself! woohoo!
