Here comes the sunny weekend and the yucky tube journey!

So, I dragged my boyfriend to Craftacular today. Poor thing, first was Angel's sale, then Designer Guild sale, now he has to go to craft fair with me, it's really ruining his double tough cold hearted image!! But hey, end of the day, we both agreed it was a nice day out!!

We didnt make to the first 100 to Craftacular to get the goodie bag, it was actually a queue when we got there To be honest, I didnt expect there would be so many people. The craft fair wasn't quite what I expected, maybe just because it's a little bit different to the ones I have been to when I was in Edinburgh. (The one in Princess Street Garden during the Edinburgh Festival is lovely!!)

Believe it or not, my boyfriend actually spent more money than I did! ;) He bought a print fromMADE BY KATE. (Kate makes the sock monsters and her husband does the illustration for cute monsters). He also bought two hand printed tea towels, Veggie Brekkie and Full English Breakfast, from Mr PS. We both liked the cards from Fluffy Thoughts, and I got 2 badges from there as well, thought the "Muffinator" is very funny! Here comes my favourite thing in the whole craft fair, the knitted candy brooches from Knit and Destroy, they are sooooooo cute!!

After shoving down a cupcake with pink icing, we went to Liberty. The haberdashery on the 3rd floor is one of my favourite places, I can spend hours and hours there, even if there is nothing new to see since my last visit.Liberty Celebrates Prints Charming was quite interesting too.

Bought some glass and shell beads from Creative Beadcraft and some kimchi from Chinese supermarket, would love to check out Cath Kidston's new collection but I don't think my boyfriend would love that idea! I had a horrible week at work, I think it's ending well, at least, I have had a great day just wandering about in London and my boyfriend is truly deserves a lazy day in front of TV watching premier league tomorrow! ;)

I used to love these thin canvas tote bags you got free from shops or magazines. They're so simple but so handy. When I made my first tote bag, I kept that in mind, I wanted something simple, something different and maybe a little more durable than the free cotton bags.

It was last winter, I saw my work friend, Michelle, wearing a lovely vintage coat with large buttons on the front and a handbag with a red button, YES! BUTTONS!! From that moment on, I knew, that buttons and I would be "that" close!

Buttons on tote bags, I think they are cute!! You can find these simple tote bags from my Etsy shop and my friend Michelle's bag is not for sale! ;)

Black and white, this colour combination really cant go wrong, can it? ;)

I have made a set of button jewellery that is simple, elegant and has a striking colour contrast! I love the buttons with the circles in the middle, they are just so different.

You can see the full item description in my Etsy shop.

It's been a good day; it feels like I have done so much! Made some button jewellery, took photos and started making some bags too.

I really like this green and black button jewellery set I made, which is inspired by the musical "Wicked". Guess it's very different from my other items, it's not in pastel colours and not in pink!!

I'm quite happy about the cat and fish toggle clasp too, they are very cute. Witch and cat, get it? ;)
