What a weekend! This thanksgiving weekend was spent with a lot of drawing, coming up with fresh new designs that we’ll be launching at Unique LA. It’s been real fun! I’m definitely looking forward releasing these new buttons, this particular button set has been itching to get out already… 6 days to go, fellows! Do you think you can guess this set?

Ten shillings and six pence?

Now who in the right mind would wear the price of his hat at a tea party? He must be mad!

A lovely pocket watch!

For quite an important date, indeed!

Occasionally, your day doesn’t always go according to plan. Thanks to gravity and Murphy’s law, there’s always something to keep you on your toes. Although it can get stressful at times, you have to admit that it does make life a little bit more exciting. Can you imagine if everything went according to plan in your day to day life? Just like how lottery winners end up broke and miserable in the end (or so I heard – I’d love to win and be the exception!), getting everything you want can have its unintended consequences.

Apologies for my tendency to ramble, I guess my point is that we can’t spend too much time getting stressed out without giving yourself proper credit for the good things you bring into the world.

And, what better way to let the world know the undeniable truth of how awesome you really are.

Happy 4th of July, friends!

Life as a Rubber Stamp

This little bugger was waiting inside our mailbox last week, and boy, what a treat to find him! We still need to get a pool of ink for him to swim in, as I’m sure he’s raring for some action.

Props to Teresa at Tickled Pink Paper Ink, the quality of her product is amazing! Now we all know where to go for custom rubber stamps, in case our little monster needs a few more friends

We have a gang of friends that need your help! They need some names to live up to their Lucha Libre fame! Leave a comment with suggested names for one (or all), and those chosen will get a FREE Luchadores button pack! We’ll keep the contest open for two weeks, until the end of June. Goodluck amigos y amigas!

We are pleased to announce that we have been accepted to join the 2009 Renegade Craft Fair in LA this coming July!  The Renegade Craft Fair is one of the biggest, most known DIY Craft Fairs around, where hundreds of artists/crafters apply to, drawing in even thousands of craft lover shoppers out there. We are honored to be able to take part of this event, and are very excited to meet fellow crafters out there too!  We’ll keep you posted as the summer heat of July 11 and 12 comes near!

In the meantime, enjoy this new set of “Sew Fine” buttons!

Hi guys!  We just realized we still have a few 2009 buttons left over from the great Coachella 2009 give-away.  For those fans of the Indio desert, feel free to order at the recession friendly price of one dollar
