A Stamp for Dion

We have been wanting to have a stamp made for a while for Dion's Shop, well about 10 days ago I came across  Sandra Waine's shop on Felt with her adorable handmade stamps we knew that Sandra would be perfect to make the stamp for Dion.
This afternoon after having been to the high school for Dion's enrollment interview for next year we came home to a little package in the mail box. And woohoo it had arrived, isn't it so cute and so well made.

Thanks Sandra it's really fantastic.

Blog News......

To celebrate Christmas we have changed our blog template to a more Christmasy theme.

I have been very bad the last 2 weeks and have not been able to bring you a Weekly Handmade Christmas Update due to a large amount of orders and illness. This weekend they will return.

I also hope to bring you another part of the Tree Skirt tutorial this week coming.

Weekly Handmade Christmas Pledge Update

I know that this is where I normally would update you on our progress with our Handmade Christmas Pledge but this week the Big News has finally arrived. The only person that I would allow to take over my weekly update is my little shorty (My son Dion). 
Dion has started his own store selling items made with handmade covered buttons. To start off Dion will be selling his creations in his shop on Madeit called Dion's Buttons. Dion has also setup a blog, so stop by for the latest updates new products, sales, and giveaways. 

Dion has some great button pins, hair buttons and craft buttons for Christmas. Great for any Christmas outfit. I really love the striped hair buttons, only wish that I was able to wear them this Christmas but they wont work with my short hair.

Dion also has covered button magnets, button pins that would be great for Christmas presents or stocking stuffers. The custom word magnets are a fantastic idea, something I have not seen anywhere.

Coming soon to Dion's Buttons are covered button earrings. Please stop by his shop and show him some love.
