The name TJFrog combines Tania Jane (her real name) and Frog, a nod to her lifelong passion for collecting frogs—not the real ones, though she’s saved a few crossing a main road!

Tania’s first job was in the Royal Navy, so she’s got a lot of experience in graphics and people development. On top of that, she’s dove into studies across different fields, including biology, geology, and psychology—because why not?!

Tania was taught to knit by her Nan at a young age and reignited her knitting passion in 2008. When she discovered that knitters “frog” their work (rip out mistakes), the name TJFrog was born!

TJFrog’s journey took a delightful turn when she discovered the craft of Dorset Buttons, and in 2015, she officially launched her business at the Edinburgh Yarn Festival as The Button Lady! Her mission is to keep this craft alive for generations to come, showing crafters how to use materials they already have to complete and jazz up their projects.

Aside from her button passion, Tania also enjoys dabbling in crochet, cross-stitch, and drawing. She’s a book collector, and on the occasional evening, she enjoys a good Gin & Tonic! (Like us all!) She loves meeting fellow crafters and sharing creative ideas together.

While an introvert at heart and extremely shy (they are different!) I quietly love to be social and meet fellow crafters.
