I have just listed 9 new Elasticated Buttons Bracelets in my shop. Please visit the Milomade Shop to see the whole collection. These bracelets are all created from a vast stash of shirt buttons I have amassed over the years and I team these up with new similar sized colourful buttons to form simple patterns in long strands that can then be made into bracelets. Such a simple idea transforms buttons into something beautiful to cherish and wear. They are nice and stretchy and comfortable to wear and will fit most wrists.

I’ve been busy today taking lots of photographs of my products for my online shop and have just listed 12 new Button Flower Brooches. Please visit the Milomade Shop to see the whole collection.

Less of the bells on her toes though – as I’d just like to let you know that I’ve listed a set of new rings in my shop – rings for your fingers – more to come soon. They are all made from sets of sterling silver teaspoons and therefore come in small limited editions. When you buy one of these rings you will be safe in the knowledge that only a few other rings like it exist.

I’ve got draws and boxes overflowing with the sea glass I pick up on the beach every day that it was about time I started making jewellery with it.

I’ve been busy making lots of lovely button Christmas cards for my up and coming craft fairs – Christmas in the Loft [Adross Farm, Elie] and Magpie Market [Edinburgh]. I love my new printer! I bought it a while ago and not really used it yet. I bought a load of pre-cut/scored blank cards made from recycled card and have been pondering for a while what to do with them. But I got my thinking cap on last night and got productive.

I’m currently having some technical issues with my own online shop and it will be taken down at some point this week and either fixed or replaced by something new. So in the meantime I’ll be listing my items in my new shop at Zibbet, as well as adding some more items to my Coriandr shop.

I’ve been working away on a new range of button pendants. When I say range, so far I’ve made a prototype and one actual pendant, but there will be more on the way soon. I wanted to adapt the processes I’ve learnt to make my small silver button earrings and adapt them to my ideas for pendants.
