It's About Buttons

Hello!

Just two days ago I came up with a new design
It's so funny these new ideas pop in my head now
when I'm busy making for the weekend's craft market
But what can I say, I feel grateful
It's not easy to make something new and fresh
and these ideas don't come every day
at least not in my case.

They turned out long cases, perfect for pens, pencils and brushes

I covered button blanks with scraps of vintage fabrics

I love to treasure left over fabrics, even tiny pieces of them

I got a lovely donation of button blanks from Susanne.
Isn't she the sweetest ♥

Have you made something with buttons lately?

Button Love

Happy Midweek!

This week is Etsy Euro Week
and I've been hard at working on
posts over Handmade Europe
Glad to promote the European Street Team!

One of my retailers here in Finland
asked if I would make Karuski rings for them.
I looked through my button and supplies stash
Here is what I came up with

How is your week proceeding?
Wishing you well, make your day lovely & creative!

New Work: Pouches & Clutches

It's already midweek and this is my first post this week!

Here in Karuski studio it's been a joyful day.
I finished a bunch of *new* pouches + a couple of clutches, too.

These pouches are useful for carrying small things such as
-change
-keys
-phone
-make up

Almost all of these new darlings
have a sweet little button embellishment.
Of course.

springy green and tiny blooms
