Introduction	Hi I'm Nikki, I am married and have been for 23 years. I have three kids, 3 dogs, 2 birds, and 30 or so chooks. I live on acreage and work for myself. I started making ceramic buttons in 1995 after having an industrial accident and taking up quilting. I started out with about 10 different buttons and would trade them for fabric and anything else to support my craft and quilting habit. the last 16 years has been a fabulous journey of meeting people all around the world and building my button and design business. I now have over 500 buttons in my range and over 200 patterns in my quilt and stitching design label, Brandy Gully. I love what I do and thank all of my wonderful customers that have supported me over the years so that I could earn a living, raise my family and have fun all at the same time.
