I've decided to sack the cartoon staff, although I love them I simply cannot be them anymore, as it's making me feel a slightly bonkers!.

Been raining here for about 2 months, non stop, which is good weather for staying in and making things, and I need to make loads!!   So today I have been mostly making button - and here for you, if your interested, is how it's done.

Print designs onto heat transfer paper and cut out.
Iron onto twill cotton fabric and cover the buttons!

I have also been printing my illustrations onto cards but am frustrated with the quality of recycled card - why is the printing so grainy??

Ah well, off to school now - in the rain with a supply of biscuits to help Vince home (hopefully avoiding any tired tantrums).

I will soon be doing a Give Away! so watch this space.
