Just a short break

I thought I would just quickly update you all and let you know that not much will be happening in the shop over the next couple of weeks.

I have been really sick over the weekend and because I am pregnant I can't take anything for it so my recovery has been slow. This is my last week at my 'real' day job which is very exciting! After Thursday I am a free woman until baby junior comes! I will be spending most of this time working on new and exciting things for the shop. So I promise there will be lots happening in the middle of May.

Husband and I are also heading off to Queensland on the weekend so any orders place after that date be be sent out the week after however I will still be checking my emails.

Take care all!!

Last day for your chance to win!!

Hey Guys!

Don't forget that today is the last day for the giveaway at On the Dot Creations! Make sure you check it out for your chance to win!

This week I had a delivery of new fabric! Most of the pieces are very small so I will be listing some SPECIAL EDITION Pouches! Make sure you snap them up quick because once they are gone they will never be back!

So much sewing to be done!

Isn't it amazing how you can go months and months with no motivation and then BOOM! There isn't enough time in your day to get everything done which you wanted to do? I have had a blast making new items for the shop on this long weekend. I have a bunch of coin pouches sitting here to be sewn up and listed. I didn't realised that I only had 1 coin pouch in the shop so I will be stocking up the shop next week with all new coin pouches! You can have a sneek peek above to see the first ones which will be listed. I have also started to use interfacing on all of my new pouches. This will make them a bit more sturdier.

I don't know if I mentioned it in my last post that I am going to be making up some travel wallets... Well I was hoping to have at least one made up by now but it has just taken so long to get the pattern right as I am making this all from scratch. It is 100% my own design. Hopefully I will have the prototype made up by the end of the week. It all depends on how much patience I have :) I have stopped and started the project about 10 times already!

Well things to sew and photos to take.

Toodles!!

Happy Easter!

I cannot believe it! The Easter long weekend is here! I have started my morning early and finished all of the house work for the weekend so I can spend the WHOLE weekend making more new items for the shop!


I have listed the first batch of my 2 tone pencil cases. The top one is my fav :) Last night I also finished up some new passport covers, oh they are soooo cute!!! I am in love with them all. I will take photos of them today and add them to the shop.

I am also working on a new design for a travel wallet to hold your documents, boarding pass, a pen, coins and other goodies. I am super excited! I have been stuck in a rut for so long that it is nice to be able to have the motivation to want to make new stuff. I just wish the sales would pick up.... Oh well, it just means more time sewing instead of packing orders.

Stay tuned, I will be back soon!

My Cupcake Obsession

I have been busy loading up the shop with lots of new items with NEW cute fabric. My FAVOURITE at the moment is the Patchwork Cupcake fabric (in the above image). I can't help but want to make everything with this fabric!! I have some passport covers soon to be listed in the shop also with this fabric.

Make sure you check out the shop for all new pouches! More are being listed this week end along with some new 2 tone pencil cases.

Enjoy!!

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
