Posting gifts!

Recently and old work colleague and friend of ours gave birth to bubby number 2. So naturally I whipped up a little something to send down to the new addition. Mum was thrilled with the gift, and I was pretty impressed with the fabric find more than anything!!!!! I made some nappy (diaper) covers and a dummy (pacifier) clip, which no bub should be without!

How hip is the fabric? I so rarely take note of the fabric name, but this one was appropriately named "Sock Monkey Argyle"

A Gift!

I made a few things a few weeks ago for my friends 2 children, and now I have finally gifted them I can share them with you :)

 For Mr R, I made a pair of towel shorts, I kept them bright with big functional pockets for him to fill with all sorts of toys, sand and the like! I figure with the Australian summer well and truely upon us (we are talking tempertures of over 35 degrees C already!), mum (or dad) can towel him off and pull on the shorts!!!!

 And of course Mr R's little sister couldn't miss out so for Miss A I made a little sunsuit, complete with press studs at the bottom and tie tops making it more adjustable. Again perfect for the Australian summer!

What you think??? I was really happy with how they turned out!

Christmas is looming!!!!!

This year we decided that most of our gifts would be handmade! I absolutely love making gifts for people, I think it is a fabulous way to save money and give someone something unique. So I have been busy making a start on our Christmas gifts.

Which meant I have made a start on the granny ripple I was talking about here. So here is a sneak peek!

It is coming together really well. Fingers crossed I have it done by Christmas!

Its Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look to the right of your screen you will see my store is finally here!!!!! Yep this is my BIG news!!!!! I have listed my handmade wares on Etsy, so feel free to head over and check them out!

It has definitely been a busy time, trying to get it up and going, taking the pics, the hours of uploading, as well as finishing a few of the items. All in the mean time I have managed to have two job interviews, playing cricket, hockey and hit the beach, as the summer heat is upon us (currently 32 degrees).

Hope you like my little store :)

I almost forgot - I also managed sunrise down the beach a couple of weekends ago, so here is few pics (totally unedited!)

News to come!!!!

Ok I have been extremely slack in the last week or so on the blog front!!!! I promise there is going to be news to come and I have been busy busy sorting that out! I do however have some small news, I came home the other day to find my lovely partner cleaning out my sewing room! Yep, I can now see the desk, floor and sewing machines!!!!!!!!!

It is very exciting!!!!!!

Well, fingers crossed my news comes sooner rather than later :)
