Proud days once again!

I've just been doing some research today for our after school workshop on Wednesday, when i started thinking about how I feel I have learnt so much more from the young people. They just love art, its their favourite lesson and "the best thing they've ever done!" hehe. I love kids art more than any famous artist. I miss the days when I was a little girl and art was the best thing in the world, so lovely and free. When I started high school art felt more like hard work and I lost my passion, I became too much of a perfectionist that I was never satisfied with my work and always brought myself down. As soon as my work was being graded it never felt the same; its just seems wrong to give art a grade. I want to feel the days when I was truly proud of that felt tip drawing I did of the little mermaid! Hopefully the young people will teach me a thing or too. After all its the process that makes the art beautiful... so get messy and have some fun! :)

Getting creative with wool!

I started off making these for some friends as presents and I loved making them so much that when ever I get a minute I'm knitting away. I have labeled them with our 'Button Love' name, ...one day we will own our own little coffee shop and run craft workshops! hehe :)


I just love this colourful wool, an excellent find!

I have a bag full of buttons and beads and I knew they would come in useful, now I just need to find some use for those boxes! :P

If anyone is interested in buying some, just let me know and I'll hopefully have some more images up soon of different designs! They look fabulous as corsages on bags, tops, hats, scarves, gloves, necklaces, you name it! They make beautiful presents, especially for you! :)
