Do you ever have unexpected visitors who drop by and present you with a gift? You stand there in blind panic, desperately trying to think of something that you could give them? No, there's definiteily nothing suitable in the bag full of bric-a-brac under the stairs destined for the recycling shop. Any unopened pots of homemade jam? Nope, they were finished long ago. Running out of ideas? Well, never fear, buy one of these to pop in your top drawer so that it will there should any emergency arise?
Every spiral brooch is unique. Handknitted, edged in a contrasting colour and finished off with a button in the middle. Metal pin secured to the back.
Got a particular colour combination in mind? Please get in touch as I'd like to help!
I'm forward planning here for - gulp - Christmas! - did I really say that?!
I have several male relatives to buy for this Christmas. I thought I'd try something different this year - swapping Mosaic Tree items with other crafters' products for Christmas gifts! I'm looking for items £5-£15 and will happily swap my same price items (more than one to bring it up to the equivalent value if need be). Each person would pay for their own p&p.
Check out the photo albums at www.facebook.com/MosaicTree to get an idea of what I create - and prices (and a selection of Mosaic Tree products) are at www.folksy.com/shops/MosaicTree.
Please message me on facebook (www.facebook.com/MosaicTree) if you're interested and have some ideas for swaps (don't worry if all the possible swaps don't work out - I've got to bear in mind the personal tastes of the gift recipients). I'll keep folks posted of any swaps via Mosaic Tree blog.
There are some very lovely people in the world. And two of them crossed my path recently, generously giving me their vintage button collections which they felt I could utilise.
These buttons have a magical quality to them. Not only are they beautifully made from a range of materials - glass, metal, ceramics - (less of the modern day plastic), each one also comes with its own history of a garment which it has previously graced.
My role will be to upcycle these buttons so that they can add a touch of vintage character to another item handcrafted by Mosaic Tree.
These bracelets - wooden beads threaded onto craft elastic - come as a pair. Lots of scope for wearing individually or together depending on your mood, your outfit....
The perfect gift too. Buy them, pop them away in a drawer and they'll be there ready and waiting for that birthday that you nearly forgot...pop them in the post and, hey presto, problem solved.

Its time to step back and have a look at how we treat our iPods in this busy, crazy world of our's. When was the last time that you can honestly say you sat down with a cuppa in your hand, your iPod on your knee and had some serious quality time together? "Never!" I hear you chorus. Well now is the time to make amends....
TLC means just that - Tender, Loving, Care. This handknitted iPod cover is all about those 3 little words. Your iPod snuggled up in this cover, free from nasty scratches, knowing that he or she is looking just like...well, the coolest thing ever.....whilst you feel those twinges of guilt receding that you've done a fantastic thing today by making your iPod's life that much better! Congratulations!
