buttons and string

Okay, so making kits can be a pain in the bum. All that cutting and packing and checking and double-checking that you have included everything.

But then you get to use cupcake boxes and stickers and stripey string and shiny buttons.....

Oh! Such fun for the lucky people who get your marvelous kits. You are so very thorough, including every single thing needed. Truly the best kits I have ever encountered. And the cutest!

Gorgeous kits - on my list of coveted items. My Parsley and Beet pattern and beautiful fabric arrived in NZ today - so totally worth the wait and I'm looking forward to getting stuck in (although there's this little thing called Christmas and the End of Year foiling my plans).

Jodie, I'm desperate for one of those gosh darn cute hedgehogs. Please tell me how to get one, I'm willing to pay squillions of my shiny dollars for one but when I checked your etsy store .....there were no hedgehogs!

They made me smile they look great .

Shari said...

I love stripey string and shiny buttons and cupcake boxes! And these are the cutest ever! To Market! Wish I could come...

teresa said...

Wow too cute for words. The packaging is just as good as the insides.. You do a fantastic job, anyone would be very happy to receive this package of cuteness.

Darling Petunia said...

Wait...you mean...no...they're only for sale at the market? But...but. No. :(

Susan said...

I would buy 3 of them in a heartbeat, I wish I could magically appear at market! SO wonderful. It's all about presentation, but when the insides are as good as the outside, then it's a sure thing! You'll be sold out in a matter of very few hours.

Thaty packaging is too cute to resist! You are going to sell a TON of those!!!

BTW - I'm not going to make it to Daylesford...:(.... have a blast and sell a bomb. Gosh, it all sounds rather explosive!

Banaghaisge said...

Hey Jodie - how is Mr Ric-Rac's shiny new job going?
And time to start pushing Daylesford Market stall. I reckon The Sweetheart and I may just make it to see you!
How long have you been making thoise cuties with the speaking zipper mouths? I have a couple here (but without words) and no idea where they came from. Where did you get the tiny zippers? Left over Barbie clothes?

Hugs,
Jasmine

quiltdude said...

What are these adorable hedgehoggy kits all about? They are adorable, you make such a perfect job of your packaging.
Speaking of which, a little package dropped through my door here in the UK this week. Thank you very much for your gift, there really was no need to add extras but I love that you did. Goodies and Baddies will go down well at school!
On the hunt for grey cordory now so I can have a batch of ellies made for Christmas.
