Oh my, what a week!

This week I reopened the shop!! I am not sure if it is a crazy thing to do with a 3 week old baby. I have been having some withdrawals without my shop, I think it helps me to keep my brain going. I had no idea how hard it would be to run on broken sleep. I think I am getting around 4-5 hours sleep a night! It is hard to stop during the day to take a nap. Thankfully the little man has been quite sleepy during the day. This gives me some time to list new items and pack orders. Christmas time should be a hoot!!

I have listed a few of my monster passport covers. I am sooo in love with these!! I listed a bunch of monster pouches the day i reopened but they sold straight away so I have some more in the making at the moment. If you want one you will have to be quick!!


Before I go I have to leave you with the latest photo of the little man. It was taken when we got out of the bath. awwww this guy just melts my heart! I love you baby boy xoxox

Not long now!

I am super excited to let you all know that my shop will be RE-OPENING within the next week!
I have felt a bit lost without it to be honest, even though I am in desperate need of getting more sleep than I am at the moment I can't help but want to get back in touch with new and existing customers!



While I was sitting around for the little man to make his appearance I spent a lot of time creating new items for the shop as it had been a while since I added some new stuff. I am excited to show you all my monster passport covers along with many new other designs. I have over 30 NEW items to be added once the shop opens which will give my shop a bit of a face lift. (Sorry about the bad photo, it is hard to get a moment to pick up the camera these days without Jacob wanting to be held every minute of the day).

I also have a secret new product which will be hitting the shop in the next week. I found a great need for this item after the arrival of the little one but you will have to wait to find out what it is!!

Last night we took Jacob out for a little drive. He looked so cute in his little white outfit, he looked like a little eskimo hehe.


Well time to take as many photos as I can get of the new items so I can start listing everything!!

xoxox

Happy 1 week birthday little one!

I cannot believe it has been one week since little Jacob was born! Time has gone so fast!! We are all learning that he likes to sleep during the day and want to stay up all night! Hopefully we will grow out of that soon!! I am starting to look like the green eyed monster.

It is amazing how you learn to do everything so much quicker when you have a baby. I used to potter around doing the washing, having a shower, cleaning the house, now it is, wham bam thank you mam!!!

I have also learned how to type with one hand while he is sleeping on my chest and doesn't want to be put down. I think I should have this new typing technique to perfection by the end of the week!! :)

Baby Jacob is here!!

And he is so precious!! I was induced on Saturday night (25th July) and had a very quick 2 hour natural labour with no drugs at all! I still can't believe it! I am so in love with this little guy, I spend every waking hour with him. Oh yeah, he is a whole 9 pound baby!! (4kgs). I am sure to be posting many more pics of him :)

Time to try and get some sleep before he wakes up! :)

11 days to go!

me at 36 weeks

The count down is on!! I am only hoping that this little guy comes out soon. There is only so much day time TV I can watch. I haven't updated the shop in a long time mainly because I know that it soon will need to be closed. I am saving all of my new stuff I have made for when I reopen.

I have closed my made it shop (well, it still is open as you can't put it in vacation mode) but any orders that do come through will have to wait to be contacted on when I will be able to start sewing again. My Etsy shop will close tomorrow night.

It is so hard to know when I will be able to reopen as I still don't know what I am in for but all I do know is that I will be spending every waking hour with my new bundle of joy. I truly cannot wait to hold him in my arms! I think I might just because one of those obsessive mums, he is all I can think about!

I will be sure to update this space with some pictures of him as soon as he is here!!

I will also still be checking my email regularly (thanks to having an awesome mobile with email-how did I live without it before!) so please continue to send any emails if you have any questions!

Where to start...

I have been busy this week! I had a large custom order and finally got around to finishing my memo pad covers. I LOVE them! They came out so much cuter than I was expecting!! You can find them in the shop but be quick! The Blue Garden one has already gone! Next on the 'to do list' is A5 Journal Covers.


This was the custom order which I just finished! Now time to focus on more new things!!

Bye for now!

My back hurts...

I think my baby has dropped... I have such bad back pain and I feel like there is a brick lying on my bladder... Only 9 weeks to go.. Is this where it all goes downhill I till I meet my little man. Here is a little peek of what I am looking like at the moment... A chubba if you ask me :) (excuse the bad photo, mum's camera was about to die).

On the weekend I also relocated my craft room to the back of the house. The light in this room is sooo much better and I have a lot more space. I have finally setup two separate sections. craft table and computer/laptop desk. Before I had my laptop with my sewing machine and I was always becoming distracted and never got anything done!

Well that's it for now... I think I need a back rub :(

Eek! I need to have a sort out!

My stock box is starting to over flow. I need to invest in a few more of these boxes! I might even need to soon have a sale and try and make room for lots more new stuff!I have added lots to the shop in the lat few days! I have really enjoyed making my new gadget pouches. I love them all! Your camera is sure to be safe in one of these babies!!

And on a Molly update, well, $350 later we found out that she is ok. The vet couldn't find anything really wrong with her ear so he has given us some ear drops. she doesn't like them too much :/

My poor little Molly

I am trying to keep myself busy because we had to take our little doggy to the vet tonight. The poor little thing has had an itchy ear for about a week now so they have had to sedate her to fix it... We are waiting for a call to know when we can pick her up. I felt so bad leaving her, she was very sad :(

In the mean time I have tried to keep busy with finishing up my new gadget/camera zip pouches. These pouches have padding inside so they are PERFECT for your camera or phone. I didnt realies how hard it is to work with padding! I think all up I did 3 prototypes to get it perfect! I have also top stitched near the zip so it looks neater. What do you think??

Off to make lots more!! (And hope that the vet calls soon!)

Back from Holidays!

Queensland was so awesome! We did lots of shopping and eating. I had to come back and share with you all the most coolest chocolate place we went to for breakfast!! Check it out!! It is a place called Max Brenner.


It was chocolate overload, we felt sooo sick afterwards!

It is nice to be back home though. My baby belly is getting bigger by the day so it is nice to be in the comfort of our home. I can;t believe that i am 30 weeks!! Not long to go now! I also got straight back in to sewing. It is so sad but it is all I wanted to do while I was away! Is that bad??


Good news was that I got one of my custom orders finished today. I fall in love with everyone of these monster pouches. It is hard to part with them!

I have plans to bring out a bunch of new monster stuff soon! I won't give too much away yet, you will just have to stick by. It shouldn't be too long!
