This is a belated post as I’ve had a horrible start to 2010 and only just picking up the pieces and getting back to my normal routine. It feels odd that I haven’t blogged for so long, but I’ve been ill and so has my computer – I got the dreaded blue screen of death – luckily I found a local IT company who miraculously not only saved all my data and emails which I thought I’d lost, they also brought the computer back to life and made it shiny and new again.

I use www.moo.com for all my Milomade business cards and have just received a discount code from them to pass on to people who are new to Moo. So why not start the year with a whopping 10% discount on some new moo cards – hurry the offer ends on the 31st January. So if you’ve never used Moo before, why not give them a go – their cards are really cool and totally customisable. These are some of the cards you could get:

Well ‘Happy New Year’ to everyone out there! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I had a great finish to 2009 with great sales at the craft fairs I did in November and December. On Christmas day I was far away from home, riding a camel into the desert – more on that in another post – and I wondered who would be unwrapping their presents in the morning to find something by Milomade within – I hope the gifts brought lots of happiness and joy to the people who received them.
I hope I will start seeing people around Fife wearing my button flower brooches and I wonder who will be sending out thank-you letters in my recycled envelopes as these were a very popular items and sold well at the craft fairs.

I thought I’d just write a quick post to let you know that this Firday is the last Milomade posting date for Christmas – 11th December. So if you want to get your hands on some Milomade goodies, then make sure you purchase them this week. You can purchase Milomade goodies directly from this site, on Coriandr or on Zibbet – the links are all listed below for you…

Afer the 11th December the Milomade shop on this website will be closed. I am removing the ’shopp plugin’ from the site as it’s causing too many problems/conflicts with my blog and the support provided with the plugin is pretty much zilch. So I’m looking for new software that is easier to use and more reliable and will have a new shop up and running as of the new year.

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.

My next victim is Katcha Bilek who runs Re-Collect and designs and makes the most amazing fashion accessories from recycled materials – namely truck inner tubes collected from local tyre repair centres. The straps on them are old car seatbelts from local car scrap yards. The belts are made of bike tyres from local bike shops. Everything is hand made locally, cut and sewn by hand with no use of electrical machinery or children. The materials make a great alternative to animal products and due to the nature of the material each product is unique.

I’ve just found out that Milomade has been selected as a stall holder for the Magpie Market to be held in Edinburgh on the 6th December. Yippee! What brilliant news! So come along to the The Lot – a converted church in the heart of the Grassmarket on the 6th of December and do some Christmas shopping or simply treat yourself.

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.
