I declared to my sisters this morning that 2010 will be 'The Year of Craft’ for me. To acknowledge this auspicious occasion/day/year, I have decided to create a crafting blog. As a geeky engineer by day and a crafter by night, this blog will celebrate my crafting alter-ego and be a place for me to explore my craftier side. Yeah 2010!
The name…Elsie’s Orange Button. Elsie is my maternal grandmother. Elsie had an orange button. My mum was intrigued by this cute little orange button when she was a wee girl, and would always hunt through my grandma’s sewing basket looking for it. The Orange Button would sometimes disappear, but would then magically reappear. My mum still has the button - it is lovingly stitched to her pincushion.
Grandma Elsie was one of the most amazing women I have had the pleasure of knowing and she played a key role in planting the crafting seed in my life. So, the name of my blog is a little tribute to her.
