What a Week!

What a crazy week I've had.

I received a pile of orders for the new style martingale collars...

I had a few orders come through on madeit....

I was excited to be part of a brand new blog featuring handmade products for kids...

Then I got sick. And now Eddie is sick (well, he's either got my cold, or he is having a bit of a reaction to his vaccinations - either way, he is now my velcro baby and is making it very difficult to get things done).

At least I'm on the mend, which is good. Today is a lovely recovery day - nice and cool and rainy. The first day of autumn and I have jeans on! Jeans! Looking forward to winter at this rate.

If I Had Girl Babies...

If I had girl babies instead of my boy babies, here is what I would buy:

Pink Flower Button Snap Set by lulu froufrou. I actually already have some beautiful hair clips from lulu froufrou, so they're not just for little girls.

A Red and White Polka Dot Sun Visor by Twirling Betty.






A Prudence Flutterby Top by Piper+Lily.





Tangerine and Berry Crush Sorbet Seaside Playsuit by Little Red Wagon.





Brown Bows Wool Felt Booties by The Mending Basket.

There's still a whole lot of summer left....

It's hot in this part of the world at the moment, it really is. But there is still more to come. I'm guessing there is more than 4 months of shorts wearing weather left. So, here are some shorts in fun new fabric. They are available in sizes 00 to 6 these days too. Yay!

Rolling Hills:

Twisted Trees:



Sea Creatures:



Giant Squid:




But wait! There's more! Pop on over to my Madeit Store to check it all out.

Don't Panic!

It's not too late! I'm still taking orders for Christmas (and judging by the flurry I've received over the last few days, there is some last minute shopping going on). So, in a spot of shameless self-promotion, here are some Christmas ideas from my Madeit Store:

Christmas-themed singlets - $10

Shorts and Singlet Sets - $28

Era Singlets - $15




Era Shorts - $15




Newborn Gift Packs - $28




Personalised Singlets - $13

Custom Collars For Pooches - from $16



Merry Christmas!

Let the shopping commence!

I started my Christmas shopping at madeit yesterday. I am oh-so excited about all the goodies that will be delievered by the postie very soon. However, just in case any of my loved ones decide to have a sneaky peak at my blog, I decided that I will provide you with a list of gift ideas instead. Here we go:


For that new little one in your life, how about an organic cotton softie toy rattle monster from chunkychooky. By the way, chunkychooky also has an awesome blog, which you should check out.

Prints are for anyone really, and Sweet William has an outstanding range.





For the car nut - an upcycled seatbelt wallet from interrobang.





For the girly girl - a rose blossom hair pin by Percy Handmade.






And lets not forget that every Christmas, a girl deserves to give herself a nice little pressie. My choice is The Josephine Dress by Ampersander.






Happy shopping!

New Bits and Pieces...

Yesterday I added a pile of new things to Madeit. They made their debut at Mathilda's and went quite well, so I'm hoping it continues in the lead up to Christmas.

Firstly, I have Newborn Gift Packs, which include baby shoes, a matching singlet and a plain white muslin wrap. A lovely gift idea for a new baby.

I also added a pile of new BabyBird: Era singlets for little girls. These are very limited edition, not only because I used vintage doilies and lace to create them, but because I have decided to move away from my girls range and concentrate entirely on my boys/unisex range. This is just due to the fact that the market is flooded with girls clothing and there is already so many beautiful girls things to buy. It's better if I just concentrate on what I know best and living with three boys makes sure that I do!

So this weekend I am going on a fabric buying spree to replenish my stocks, which means that I will hopefully have the entire boys range back, aswell as some new goodies.
