Tonight I will try to remember to post the photo of cass404, tolkiencub, and myself, taken before we headed out dancing on Saturday night.

... I don't have much to say right now, really. I made a stripey skirt with a ruffled hem this weekend, and hung out with cass404. I discovered a new-to-me paranormal/urban fantasy series of novels that I really like. Other than that, not much to report. Who knows, I may have more stuff to burble about later, after I have another pot of tea.

Oh hey, there was something I wanted to burble about!

As seen on steamfashion a while ago, button covers for corset busks! (clicky-link, rah rah rah!)

I think that's a brilliant idea. I very much want to make some for my own corset collection. And I just had an idea that is either completely foolish, or amazingly clever, you tell me: instead of soldering pins onto the backs of buttons that you've cut the shank off of, wouldn't the jewelry finding to make clip-back earrings work just as well? The flat bit would slip behind the busk loop, and then the "front" of the button would close over the entire post & loop. You know, the same sort of theory behind fancy button covers for shirts & blouses.

Why yes, I am going to be experimenting with this in the next few days. I'll report back on how well it worked.
