Southbank London, Saturday February 11th at 1pm
I’m taking part in The Imagine Children’s Festival, in the Imagine Craft Pavilion (listed under free events), this Saturday at 1pm. It would be brilliant to see you there!
We will be making secrets-in-matchboxes – so I won’t give too much away right now – because where’s the fun in that?
Buttons are from The Button Company,
ribbons are from Craft Fairy and V V Rouleaux…
but the creative genius is provided by the children of course!
So now I’m packing up my crafty boxes with piles and piles of lovely things. I have too much stuff, I want to bring only the BEST. It’s quite a dilemma.
So first…
there’s the selection process. It’s a tough, brutal job.
Some buttons are IN…
and some buttons just don’t cut the mustard. They’re OUT.
It’s funny, I was just thinking about buttons this morning. My daughter is making a cushion cover and I was wondering how to find some lovely buttons. So thank you! I am immediately going to follow up those craft links!
Have a lovely time on Saturday!
Thank you! And oh good, how lovely to think of your daughter sewing a cushion cover… is it a school project or just for herself? Also – what are her favourite colours??
Buttons! Buttons… Ooh, so exciting! 😉
I found a button in my box that is JUST RIGHT for you – I know it! Have put it aside…
Do you throw away your less exciting buttons too, or is that too mean???
Sorry, just seen this! I keep all the buttons. Small children find different things exciting than I do 🙂
You are right to keep them. I had a bit of a cull recently, and the bin-bag must have slightly split, because I’ve spotted a few on the path outside. Cold, forlorn, unloved. Possibly making their way back home. So now I feel horribly guilty.
How did it all go? I saw my ribbons and I was so excited that they would be used in this fantastic project.

Hello Yvonne, thank you so much for getting in touch!
I’ve been loving your shop for YEARS, and getting lots of lovely supplies for various projects – of my own, and for children’s workshops. I’ll send you some photos if you’d like to see?
