NEW Monster Packaging

I have finally updated my monster packaging!! I love it! it is hard to see in this photo but it has a nice yellow background and a little drawing of one of my favourite monsters, (my first monster I made actually!)

Check out the shop for more little monster, I have 6 on my desk at the moment waiting to have to have eyes sewn on... They will soon be ready for adoption! make sure you check back soon!!

Lots of new activity in the shop!

I have just added my NEW monster POUCHES to the shop!! I have so much fun creating my little monsters and thought, 'why not include them on my pouches!' I think they have come out really well. Check out my shop to see all of the others! Still more to be listed, they should be up with tomorrow if i can get out with the camera!

I am also going to be taking part in another GIVE AWAY at On the Dot. at the moment I am not to sure what i will be giving away but feel free leave some feedback!!

bye for now!

Shop RE OPENED!

Well after a lovely 2 month break I have decided to get back into it!! I am starting off slow so I have just re-listed some old stock but I am slowing making new items. You might have also noticed that I have added my Monster keyrings and brooches to my shop. I started to put these in a separate shop but soon learned how hard it is to run 2 shops!! I have more monster items coming and well as new pouches so hopefully it doesn't look too all over the place.... I can't help but make these little guys. They make crafting fun. I love sewing but being able to play around with felt and buttons just makes it that little bit more fun and mixes things up a bit!

Thanks for everyone who has managed to stick around. You guys are great!

Temporary Shop Closure

You might have noticed that my shop is now empty, I have decided that I will be taking my Christmas break early. My reason for this is because DH and I are pregnant and I am struggling to keep up with orders and do not think that it is fair on my customers to wait longer than they should for orders to be shipped out.

At the moment I am unsure of WHEN Odds & Blobs will re open but watch this space as I will let you know as soon as my door opens. I WILL BE BACK, I just really need a break as this year has been incredibly full.

I thank you all for the support, you have all been so lovely to deal with throughout the past year.

Bye bye for now

New in the Shop!I

I am busy working on new travel tissue cozies for the shop! Check them out! I have lots more to add so be sure to check back soon!

They are just in time for christmas so these would be fantastic for stocking fillers!

Many more designs coming soon! I just need another pair of hands!

Has it really been a month!!?

Eek! I can't believe that it has been over a month since I last posted! Life has been a bit crazy. I have marked one thing off my list though, BRANDING! I have spend lot of time and money doing up my logo, packaging, business cards and goodies to put in my package. I like to add a bit of fun when people get my parcel in the mail! You will have to buy something in my shop to see the new upgrade :)

I have just listed a few new pouches. These have been sitting on my desk for about a month just waiting to be listed. I think taking and editing photo is the one thing I don't enjoy about having an online business! It is amazing how long it takes! And then to sit down to 50 photos and realise that the lighting wasn't right of that my hair was in the way! eek! annoying!

Christmas is approaching soon so make sure you stock up on pouches before they all go!

Bye for now!

A Fresh Start

Odds & Blobs has itself a brand new logo! I had hit a big low with my stores and just didn't have any motivation. I think I was just in big need of a rest. I have just listed some new items in the shop so make sure you stop by and have a look.

I have sooo much new fabric but just haven't found the time to finish everything. I have a few orders to pack today but once that is done I will be on the sewing machine for the rest of the night.

See you all soon, (hopefully with a bunch of new stuff!!)

Ick!

So I don't have any photos to upload today. My computer decided that it didn't want to play any more and crashed. I lost EVERYTHING. The wost thing which I lost was all of my bookmarks and inspiration! I had been visiting pages that I had bookmarks 5 years ago! I think it is going to take me MONTHS to remember them all! so far I have added 10. It is going to be a lonnnng night....

I am not sure what has been happening but for the first time in 2 years I lost all of my passion and motivation for Odds & Blobs. Since we moved house I just haven't been able to get into anything... I have so many ideas in my head and a pile to the roof of WIP. I also have so many NEW fabrics which I haven't even touched yet! I don't know what is wrong with my. I think I need to work on making my craft room a bit more inviting. at the moment there is just no colour :(

Well enough of my whinging! It is a long weekend so I have written myself a 'To Do List', now I just need to stick to it and not get distracted. Hopefully next time you check back I would have listed a few more things in my shop. That's the plan anyway!

Wish me luck!!

Shop Update!

Oh am I loving the internet!! I have caught up with reading most of my fav blogs and trying to promote my store! Please check out my shop as I have added a few new items which I made while the internet was down. Still many more to add so don't go too far!!

I love the internet...

Wow, what a messing and full on few weeks I have had.

We have finally moved house and I love it. I now have so much space! I am in heaven! BUT Telstra have been messing us about for weeks now telling us for the past 2 weeks that our phone will soon be connect but it still hasn't happened so today we just went out and an brought a wireless internet thinggy so we can be online. I had no idea just how lost I would feel without the internet. It really did feel like I had lost an arm.

Good thing about it was that I got lots done around the house and when I wasn't cleaning I was making new items for the shop. Sooo many new things to be listed!! I need to start taking pictures! I dont think many people have any idea just how much time it takes to run a shop online :(


I also had time to make lots of new monsters! (I just need to get them listed!!) My logo and packaging STILL isn't finished which is killing me!! I just feel like everything is everywhere :( I havent made a sale in my monster farm shop but I am mostly to blame as I opened the shop at the worst time (during the move!)


And the orders were still getting packed :)
