2009

After a very busy day in Glasgow yesterday (Goodbye Borders Buchannan Street) I have been snowed in! So to keep myself busy I have taken lots of nice wintery photos (mostly of my parent’s cat, Alfie) as well as changing my blog layout. I’ve added a new item to my shop…but am also currently plotting for 2010! Will hopefully have…

Just thought I’d take the time to write a little bit about Handmade Heaven2 this Wednesday. Firstly I’d like to say “cheers” to Michelle Souter for organising the whole thing, and all of the lovely folks who came along for a peek…not forgeting those who bought some of my things- I hope NikkiMade makes your gift-giving great this Christmas! One…

I am lucky enough to be participating the the second Handmade Heaven event at Abertay’s Hannah Maclure Centre in Dundee. The first event was really good fun, and I’ve decided to come back with a bigger, better selection of handmade goodies for you all to fill your stockings with this Christmas! It’s this Wednesday the 16th of December, between 12noon…

After a really busy fortnight, I’ve decided to post a thourough update! Last night the crEATe Cake expo was a sweet success! We had a really fab turn-out, as well as some amazing edible sculptures. Thank you to Laura at Exhibitions and the OverwhelmingFilm Night guys for all of your organisational help! (Work above by Mahala LeMay) The lucky winners…

Monday’s are trying at the best of times, but after a crazy-busy weekend, the only thing that could possible help was a batch of Chilli Chocolate Cupcakes. Seeing as it would be unfair to keep such a delight to myself- I’ve decided to share my recipe. You need:4oz Self Raising Flour1oz Cocoa Powder1tsp Baking Powder3oz Caster Sugar2 Eggs3oz Stork (or…

Just a quick post to make folks aware of the crEATe 2009 Facebook event. It’s an Open Event so if you’re a facebooker you can RSVP and invite any cake-lovers you might know to come along too. See you there! (Click HERE for the crEATe 2009 Blog)

Badges by Nikki Made are now stocked by Dundee’s Beco Boutique. If you havn’t discovered this little gem already, it’s located on the second floor of the Wellgate centre. The range I created for Beco’s reflects the boutique’s philosophy of eco-friendliness through vintage and remade clothing and accessories. My range of badge designs include funky vintage printed hankerchiefs (from 1960…that’s…

A wee mention from Plaisir in Biggar.

The Handmade Heaven fair at the Hannah Maclure Centre yesterday was great fun: I met loads of like-minded people as well as selling a good few badges! Thank you to everyone who came along and helped to make it a success. Along with some other artists, I even got a wee mention in the Press and Journal.

I am delighted to announce that my badges will soon be stocked by a beautiful boutique called Plaisir in Biggar. They have a great selection of fabulous artwork and design, handmade, and designer clothes, which can be followed at their blog. They currently have a bathtub filled with teacakes…which should mean my badges will feel at home!
