This is me. Got a bit of a cold. Only a small one. An annoying cough, and the desire to curl up under the duvet.

Awaiting the sunshine and my normal cheeriness soon.

I am rather excited to be writing on the Button Floozies blog. It is a really interesting read and interesting to see posts from different authors.

I posted my first one today. Yay!

Here it is.  It is all about a book I bought on Button history and how it led to me finding more about the fascinating author Diana Epstein.

So do pop over and have a read. Here is the link again if you have forgotten..

I have finished the little Button Heart Picture.  You have seen some of these photos in previous post but I thought I would show you them here in sequence.

I really enjoyed making it. Playing with three colours was good fun although I could have gone on and on experimenting and not actually making the picture.  I think I will make more of the buttons and have them available to sell individually or in little sets.

The heart picture is in my etsy shop and you can see it here.

In my last post I showed you some buttons I was making. They are for this project. A little framed heart picture.

Here I am thinking about which buttons to use.

I have lost my special pen which has disappearing ink, so had to do a tracing of the frame and actually this works really well.At this stage I decided to only use my handmade Dorset buttons.


I still haven't finished.  However, I have sewn on all the buttons. Now I am making the little french knots.

I am making pink buttons for a particular project at the moment.

So I thought I would show you what I have done so far.


I am being a bit mean. The thread is wound round just to keep it safe as i want to use it to sew the buttons on something.

So here are the buttons unwound.

I have used a different stitch in each.

They are the small buttons at 1.5cms.
I will show you more as I do them.

I am so excited about this!!
