The fabric artist examined her crazy quilt creation that had an outdoor theme. It needed some bling that would make it more interesting, but she couldn’t visualize anything working.
Her daughter Carrie came to her. “Mommy, will help me with my buttons?”
That was it! Buttons.
They had lunch then went shopping for buttons, not the button-your-blouse type, but the fun ones at the craft store. Carrie picked out trees, a bear, a moose and some birds.
Back home they had a sewing lesson; a child was never too young to learn how to correctly sew on a button.
In response to Charli Mills July 5, 2018, prompt from Carrot Ranch Literary: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes buttons. You can use the word plural or singular in different expressions, or focus on how buttons relate to a story. Go where the prompt leads.

A nice response to the prompt, Susan. I do like pretty buttons. I see your blog is no longer linked to your twitter account. Is that deliberate or is WP giving you hassles. I am having a problem which is why I am asking.

I didn’t do it on purpose. Will have to check it out. I did change my picture, but the old one is still showing up in places. I’ve never been real good with WP instructions. Thanks for letting me know.
