So here goes...my first blog, as part of my new years resolution for 2012 I NEED to start getting serious about my craft making and in a bid to do this and maintain my creativity I am starting Buttons, Bits and Bobs! I'm not much of a rambler and find that my favourite blogs are the ones with the prettiest pictures and least writing so will try to keep this as focused as possible on my craft projects, likes/dislikes, and general inspirations. You may have already noticed from the title of this blog that I am a button fan. I'm not entirely sure when this love of buttons began but I'm pretty sure it began at a young age when I first saw my mum's tin of buttons...no two buttons were the same, the colours amazing and the mystery of where all these buttons used to belong was too compelling for me. I now have my own button tin...I aspire to a jar of buttons....
I find it almost impossible to use my favourite buttons on craft projects which is a little weird but I think some buttons are just too good to be sewn onto anything, to me buttons are to be admired in there own right. I can't imagine why anyone would not like buttons but apparently there are a select few who fear them (koumpounophobics)...
Anyway, I try to feature buttons on most of my craft projects so although this must seem like button rambling it is in fact very important to me and provides me with much inspiration. I am currently working on a felt button necklace which I will get round to photographing a displaying here at some some this week. That's all for now, going to sort through my button collection!!
