Wanna know a secret about me?
For some reason I always find myself in the most ridiculous situations....at least three times a day.
Pretty recently I ruined my favorite coat. It was such a nice day out that I sat down and leaned against a pole to people watch. When I went to get up I found out that I was stuck! The pole had just been painted and while I was leaning on it, I dried to it! It took me 25 minutes, a lot of wiggling, and a couple of phone calls to my friends to help me to break free.
I thought my coat was ruined but realized there's always a way to make things better.
My Grandpa gave me lovely box of buttons my Grandma had saved so I figured now would be a great time to use them.
I feel so special to have them.
So I took my coat, turned it inside out and sewed them onto it.
Moo supervised.
It looks way more fun inside out and now, it has some very special buttons.

I love the coat inside out, what a good idea to keep such a cute coat from going to waste!
I love the material on the inside of the jacket. What a lovely idea!
I thought that kind of stuff only happened in movies :)
The coat looks great!
Amazing! It is cuter inside out!
What an inventive idea! It looks so pretty. I love it!
A job well supervised, Moo! :)
hey!!very sweet photos!!i found your blog accidentally accidentally and i'm already addicted!
love your photos!
Really cool!!!
Way to make lemonades with your lemons! By the way, you & your cat are truly photogenic. If you've ever watched America's Next Top Model this will make sense - you have got Tyra Banks beat on smiling with your eyes!
I like your "new" jacket better than the orig.
Good job.

How clever! Nicely done!
Very clever. It looks super cute.
Now I feel o.k. for giggling at the thought of you trying to wiggle free from the pole!
What a great way to turn something so sad into something so happy! It's beautiful!
Whoa great idea, if only I'd thought of that when I ruined my peacoat :D
Your post made me cry...my grandmother is very sick right now, and it just made me think of her.
It's so lovely that you got to keep that box of buttons :)
I recently stumbled upon your blog and I just have to say that I love love LOVE your blog. It's so honest, loving, cute, and fun. It seriously makes me want to smile the entire time I'm reading.
I love how you make each day a new adventure and how you spread the love and cheer by leaving cute little surprises everywhere.
So inspiring...
Nice creative solution! Most people would probably flip out about this, but you've done a great job making it work :)
That pic of Moo is the best.
I have to learn so much from you and the way you face things! ;)
Your new coat looks much better (and more interesting) than the old one! ^.^
In this pic you look as if you were pregnant, but you aren't are you?? :)

by the way, this situation reminded me of this book - one of my favorites as a kid!

haha I totally see what you mean Cris! But I'm not pregnant, just doin the pregnant pose to show my new buttons ;)
Love your blog! You seem to be always so upbeat and glass half full, which is awesome and inspiring. When something bad happens, do you ever just scream "F*@K!"?
Hilarious and Brilliant!
So much quality on your blog. Thank you
Fabulous!
Great way of turning "lemons into lemonade".
Ashley Morgan- Of course I do! haha
Hi Katie,
Your blog makes me want to fingerpaint, mail spontaneous greetings on postcards and put food colouring in my oatmeal. Basically, it makes me feel alive.
Thanks for that.

Your a genius, I wish i had your mind. It would be loads of fun!
aww what a sweet idea! x
It looks awesome that way!!
What a lovely blog. I was beginning to give up hope of finding one when I stumbled across yours.
The ladybird pins you placed outside in one of your previous posts really brought a smile to my face - as did your cat's door balancing acrobatics :)
Great photos too - can't wait to see more!
serendipity! so cute!

Why do you always have such amazing ideas ??? XD Love it !
i love buttons, and thats a cute jacket
Smart and funny - I love it!
I love that you spend your life creating smiles. I know a few people who might get themselves stuck to a freshly painted pole. But very few how could turn such an event into something so gorgeous.
