ISO buttons

Ever since I've started regularly blogging here I don't think I've gone this long without making a blog post. The few that regularly frequent my blog have been asking me what've I've been up to so har'tis!
I have several UFO's (un finished objects).
Six or Seven wool soaker pants and matching bags from recycled wool sweaters for the boys
Unbiased sari silk bag
My own design sari silk bag that I have ben contemplating froging and adding more sari silk and reinventing into a knit across jacket.
Peek a boob nursing top out of sinfonia 100% sportweight cotton
And the pièce de résistance my einstein coat that just needs buttons at this point.
I don't know where the button search will lead or how it will end up. I need 6 and I like unusual. Maybe I'll delve into wood carving or polymer clay and make my own. I just have to go on a search and figure it out.
I've taken pictures of it all but I think I'd rather just post the FO's.
I've been struggling to get this stuff done. For some reason it seems like I'm working in slow motion lately maybe because I have so many going, I can't get far on any one of them, lol. Despite this I am planning some new projects:
Sweater sampler
Another sweater for me with suri merino wool.
A Sweater or vest for Rocky
Helmet hats for the boys
Mits for the boys
A lace weight shawl
And some sewing stuff too, but I'm not holding out for that happening anytime soon with my schedule and the age of the boys. Knitting and crochet is much easier.
