Pearly Couple from Olde London Town

Boring black socks + loads of left over white buttons that are too small to be used for eyes = pearly couple from Olde London Town....not  King and Queen as they have nowhere near enough buttons to qualify for that honour...but in the future who knows?

Holidays always present a difficult situation: I can't go away without something to craft or I shall go mad....BUT how do I know what I will need seeing as I will be away from all my boxes of stuff and can't just nip back to get something?

So I made the pearly couple's socklet bodies and faces and went away with needle, cotton, stuffing and a mass of pearly buttons. Problem solved.
