To our families: this book is dedicated to you.

To Jenny Duong at asos for supplying us, without question, a box-full of DIY Victims, twice! To Kate Pollard at Hardie Grant (UK) for endless patience and golden guidence. To Jennifer Loiselle, for the bridge that allowed all this to happen. Susie Young and Claire Knill and Knot& Pop for the props that our beads and buttons now like to call home. To my agent, Abi Omole, for opening the doors of the apartment and the promise of making anything and everything happen - Shini. To Sharonda Calhoun for introducing us to the magical dungeon of props. To my husband Marcius, for the room servie of coffee and popcorn, and for keeping the bed warm on the days I'd crawl in at wee hours-Shini. To my mother, for all the prayers that shake my world - Shini. To my family, especially my mum, whose extraordinary sewing skills were taught to me at a very young age- Kit. To Shini for being my first friend in the blogosphere. Without you, this book would still be an idea - Kit.
Ditto, man - Shini. Last but not least, loyal readers, fans and supporters of our blogs, without whom we'd never have grown and developed.
