Matching Yarn & Buttons, OH MY!

I had the pleasure of creating matching, custom buttons to coordinate with  Fairyblue Knits Spring 2011 colorways.

We are offering the sets you see below (2 skeins of yarn and 1 set of buttons) starting 1/3/11 (midnight) at the button shop here: www.hyenacart.com/TessaAnn 

The collab will run 1/3/11 until midnight on Sunday 1/9/11. (Pacific Standard Time.)

The 1st colorway you see here is titled, "Butterfly Wings" a beautiful combination of royal blue, royal purple, yellow and pink. You also have the option of choosing from 3 different bases for your yarn!

I designed a set of butterfly and sunflower set to compliment her lovely colorway.

Available here: http://hyenacart.com/TessaAnn/mt/2836/40156/Collab-with-Fairyblue-Knits-Butterfly-Wings

 

This pretty colorway is called, "Forever Friends." Lime green, lavender, pink, and aqua make this colorway perfect for Spring knits! And...pretty buttons to top it all off!

Available here: http://hyenacart.com/TessaAnn/mt/2836/85391/Collab-with-Fairyblue-Knits-Forever-Friends

A happy, saturated, vibrant colorway called, "Live, Laugh, Love."  I created a little Mushroom house using the colors here as my inspiration. A great gender neutral colorway for your knitting projects!

Another set of buttons created to match this super fun colorway. Simple, colorful stars, again another great gender neutral design and colorway for your Springtime knits!

I am working out the details for another few collabs this month! This new venture is very exciting for me. With each button order I receive 9 times out of 10 the customer requests me to create the buttons they ordered to match their knitting project. Now, you are able to buy buttons and yarn that match perfectly already! How fun is that? Very fun, I say!

Thanks for stopping by!! 

 It has been great to hear from some of you again! 

Have a wonderful, creative day!

Tessa Ann

Customer Creations!

I am always delighted to receive emails and messages from customers who have used my buttons on their knitted garments. T

The cozy wool they use is not only soft and luxurious (I've recently purchased 1 roll of this scrumptious yarn, so I am talking soft folks!) but colorful, vibrant and perfectly youthful for the most adorable, elaborately knitted children's ware.

Amazing design and detail go into these beautifully hand crafted outfits. I am in awe when I receive a photo of my buttons adorning one of these creations.

I thought it would be fun to share some of them here today!

 Buttoned up with our Oopsie buttons. I just love the little cap Jonelle created to match the design of the monster face buttons! 

 What an amazing set!! Love the knitted branch and bird. She adorned this with our Bowl Full Of Cherries Buttons.

 Simple and Sweet. Little white flower buttons in a small 3/4" size with purple and aqua centers. Semi-custom order.

 A d o r a b l e!!   A sweet little halloween outfit complete with glow-in-the-dark halloween buttons in the style of my "Bewitched" Buttons made to match this colorway.

 Pink and brown is always a lovely combination. This adorable romper was knit by Crist of Creatively Ewe. She adorned her knit with our "Lolli" buttons, but created to custom match this colorway.

This is just a few of the many I receive photos of weekly! Keep sending them, I love seeing what you create!!  To see what our customers have shared with our Facebook Fan ("like"..lol) page click here:

I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the holidays! We both have been *literally*  glued to our chairs working like crazy to fill button orders before the holidays. We did spent one evening enjoying some wine and decorating our home. It was fun to put the Christmas music on, light the fireplace and sip wine while we transformed our home into full holiday mode!   Red and Gold!

 And it looks a lot like Winter outside too. Steve built this snow-person after a great amount of snow fell that day. He is always the one to be eager to rush out and build the biggest snow-person he can roll. LOL! Love that guy ;) 

And, Snowperson did get a hat...which as an adorable little girl reminded me, "he isn't real if he doesn't have a hat" :) 

Happy Holidays!!!
Tessa Ann

Still here :)

Hello!  Is anyone still here? (lol)

Yes, it has been ages since I've posted an update.  I'm still working away at my button business and it has taken over my world completely :)  

On a side note, I've gotten the itch to scrapbook again, but with my limited time now days, I've started dabbling in digital scrapbooking and I love it. 

Here is my 1st try. Yes, I have a lot to learn..so please be kind ;)

Well, keeping this post short and sweet. Just thought it was about time I checked in. I am missing blogging and having a place to "write" so I'll be back!

Loves!!

Monday's button inspiration!

Creative Team member, Amy Priddy created a one of a kind laptop/camera bag combo and embellished it with our handmade buttons. I created a custom "plate" versus a button and hand painted the words "Capturing Life's Memories" for Amy's project.

Amy will actually have this buttoned up Laptop/Camera Bag for sale today in her shop at http://www.priddycreations.com/

Thank you for sharing your outstanding project, Amy!

Monday Creative Team Member Spotlight- Leslie Ashe

For today's Monday button inspiration, enjoy the lovely page by our Creative Team Member, Leslie Ashe!

Leslie used a mix of our polka dotted buttons and our Raspberry Chocolate Ganache buttons to embellish her uber girly page, "Side Kick"

We will have a few new button designs in the shop this evening at 7 pm PST. Due to the volume of custom orders I create each week, my time to design new buttons for the shop has been reduced significantly. Luckily some of my customers are happy to share their custom orders with all of you, so we have some fresh designs ready to share tonight! 

Have a great Monday!    Please don't be a stranger! Say hi if you are lurking!  I guess I have to do another giveaway to get some of you come out of hiding..lol ;-)  

Monday Button Inspiration!

Today, Creative Team member, Rachel shares with us a super cute idea to dress up a gift! Rachel created brightly colored flowers and adorned their centers with our handmade buttons from the "Posh Posies" collection.   This beautiful ecclectic packaging is sure to bring a smile :)

Enjoy!
