A bit of fun...

More light switch covers.

 I'm toying with the idea of creating these to order, but am in the product testing stage first.

Thanks for offers to test these - I now have enough testers - keep watching for photos of the finished test covers.

In the meantime, if its buttons you're after, you're in the right place.  Check out my current collection in the Ready Right Now section.

 

Brrr, it's cold - perfect weather for knitting!

Brrrr, it's drizzly and grey out there.  Perfect for sitting and knitting!  Just a quick post to let you know I'm still here, still making buttons :)

I have a few new designs over on the Ready Right Now page, including penguins, rockets, treble clefs and ballet tutus.

 
I am not taking custom orders at present, but can often change the number of buttons in the Ready Right Now sets, so just email me to check. 


Happy crafting, Nicci

What's happening...?

"What's happening?" I hear you ask.

Thanks to those keen customers who have emailed me recently to ask if I have any new designs coming out.  I have had a lovely, busy, but relaxing summer and its time to think about buttons again.  I am working on some new designs and I'll be posting them as they are ready, so watch this space over the next few weeks.  In the meantime, I still have a number of designs in the Ready Right Now section.

Thanks again,

Christmas Encraftment

It was wonderful to meet so many crafters and friendly folks at the Christmas Encraftment market today.  Thank you to everyone who came and chatted with me and made the day fly by.  

You can check out what buttons are currently available in the Ready Right Now section (link top right hand corner). 

Spring!

Spring!  Ahh, the scent of blossom on the air, the sound of worms turning the soil and a full egg box every day - what more could a girl want?  


Maybe some buttons to match a playful mood?

Have you knitted yourself a Benji yet?

 We are very fortunate in New Zealand and Australia to have an incredible number of very talented knitting designers.  Maybe its the pioneering and creative spirit distilled in our genes?  Who knows, but I love it.  This month I am showcasing Sheryl Greenfield's Benji hat, which is a fun, fabulous knit.  

Newborn to XXL adult means you can create a hat for anyone!  Use that special lone button you've been holding onto.  Or, use up scraps of yarn, especially your favourite itty bitty bit of variegated yarn.  With very simple colourwork it is ideal for the colourwork beginner to dip their toes into an exciting new world.  Winter might be behind us, but with a Benji Benanza pack and the Benji hat pattern you can start thinking about pressies for the months ahead and stashing those spare buttons and scraps of yarn.

The Benji Benanza packs contain single buttons - perfect for Benji beanies - and are all listed on the Ready Right Now page.  You can purchase with or without the Benji hat pattern.

Sorry custom slots are now closed.  I will update when they open again.

Information on changes to the Loyalty Scheme can be found in the Loyal Customer section.

Balance...

Balance... that elusive state that always seems to be just out of the grasp of the busy crafter...

 You have asked for customs, and I have listened.  I love making custom buttons because they expand my own creativity exponentially!  However, I am keen to avoid the situation where new orders are taking up to a month to complete - no-one should have to wait that long for crafty goodiness - it's not good for the soul!

 I have really enjoyed working on store stockings over the past month or so, and they also give me an opportunity to give my creativity free reign, and go a bit crazy.

So, in the interests of balance, and quick delivery times, I am going to continue with store stockings AND open up custom orders, in a limited capacity.  I welcome your feedback (and thank those who have already helped me with the decision making), so that we can make this work for everyone.
