Office Gossip - Pair of 25mm badges

A few new ranges of 25mm badges are being listed this week.
The first range has been created from pages from a vintage book called the Monster Book For Girls and are the perfect way to add a bit of that retro pulp fiction vibe to your daily outfits.

The next range, She Blinded Me With Science, will revolve around everything to do with technology, computers and more whiz-bangs than you can poke a compass at. These designs (with even more to come!) have been taken from a children's encyclopedia from the 70's.

PS. What did everyone do for Valentine's Day?

Sadly, I had to work at my 'day job' and after arriving home, promptly fell asleep at 4pm. I was lucky enough to see 'the boy' for a few hours - which was spent watching a small portion of Mad Men and general chit-chat.

Also, would anyone be interested in subscribing to a Pannikin mailing list, with weekly emails filling you in on what new products are in store, sneak-peeks, discounts, freebies and more?

If yes, then please leave a comment below - there is no need to supply your email as I am only seeing if this is something people would like to be a part of before going about setting it up.

Anyway, thanks very much for reading; I am off to create more badges as my parts arrived in the mail yesterday and I am absolutely itching to create more! (In fact, I was so excited I stayed up until 1am this morning cutting and punching out new designs, so check back in my Etsy shop soon for new pieces!)

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!

25mm Badge Sets

I am little obsessed with making these badges. Seriously, badge makers are so much fun I think it should be something every DIY crafter needs. I just ran out of badge parts though, so it's going to be a short while until I can create more. But that's okay because I'm sure like most of you I have 100+ unfinished projects.

I Choo-Choo-Choose You!

More exciting news! I have been a busy bee lately creating lots of Vintage Valentine Fridge Magnets and listing them on Etsy. At only $3.50 USD a pop they make a great gift for someone you love, so show 'em you care with something downright cheesy (yet utterly adorable!).

Zoology brooches

Hip-hip-hooray!

The Zoology plastic animal brooches are back with more designs coming soon. Currently there are five different animals to choose from; wolf, bear, owl, deer and sloth. I was especially excited about the sloth one - whoever buys him will have me immediately impressed.

There are other designs coming shortly, but if there is a specific animal you would like to have made as a custom order, please send me a message via Etsy's conversation application. Or, alternatively, feel free to suggest any other animals not yet made.

New Year, New Products

Hello all!
It sure is nice to be back in blogland. I hope you all have enjoyed your well deserved Christmas, New Years, work and school breaks.

Today I would like to introduce a new product to the Pannikin Etsy store - 25mm badges! Yes, I bought a badgemaker a few months ago and have gone a little button mad. After a lengthy session of creating these babies, my studio (aka my bedroom) looks like some kind of mini cyclone has ripped through it. But it's totally worth it, because the end result is adorable, if I do say so myself.

This morning I have uploaded the 'Wonderland' series of badges, which is made up of 5 pairs of unique Alice in Wonderland pins, all created with vintage Little Golden Book cutouts. Each set is only $5 US and come packaged all pretty like. (Photos of packing are coming soon, I promise!)
Please keep checking back, as I will be uploading different collections during the week. Some of these include pins made from kawaii Japanese fabric (with owls, squirrels, rabbits and more!), handprinted Japanese paper and of course, more adorable storybook images - think cats, deer houses and sweet little children.

Until then, have yourselves a lovely time. Don't work too hard!

PSST! Spend over $15 in my Etsy store to receive a complimentary 25mm badge, chosen at random. But rest assured that they will be just as cute as the ones for sale. Hey, you could even give it to a friend or relative for extra brownie points!

New Products!

I've just uploaded some brand new brooches to my etsy store. Each brooch measures 38mm in diameter and are covered in quilting fabric, vintage handkerchiefs, and various other printed fabrics. There are 10 different designs to choose from. Pop on over to my shop to see the rest! http://www.pannikin.etsy.com/
