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 :)

The Start of MONSTER FARM!

Lotsssss has been happening! I finally have got my Monster store up!!! Say Hello to MONSTER FARM! This is my new etsy store which has all of my monster items. My logo and packaging is still in the design process but it hopefully wont be too far away! I have sooo many more monsters sitting next to me to be photographed and listed.

I am also in the middle of moving house at the moment too! we have sold our 2 story town house in the city and are moving into a 4 bedbroom home just outside the city. I will not miss the stairs that is for sure!! At the moment we are camped out in the kitchen as we have packed up everything.
My shop will still run as normal though :) I have my packing supplies right next to me :)

I have also taken part in a blog giveaway at onthedotcreations which I am really excited about. I haven't done anything like this but I am trying to promote a bit more seeing as the market is a bit slow at the moment. It should be interesting! Make sure you check it out as you can score a few freebies! Goodluck!

Well I better leave it there for now. gotta keep moving.

Bye for now

The absent Blogger is baaaaack

Immmm backkkkk

I have been such an absent blogger lately! BUT I have an excuse! LOTS has been happening. We brought a new house and just sold ours so we are moving in 2 weeks! I cannot wait! I have a new craft room!


I have also been busy on a couple of other crafty projects. I have just listed a heap of Passport Cover/Holders. I have lots more to list so make sure you check them out throughout the week!

You might also remember my little monsters? Well, I have been working on a new branding and a new shop for these guys. I am just working on the finishing touches so check back real soon!
I was originally adding them to Odds & Blobs but just found that they looked so awkward in the shoppe. I am having such a blast making them. I love being able to draw up a new creature and bring it alive, they are all just so cute and unique. I spotted Shane on Giolou' flickr page! I couldn't believe it when I saw him. I am glad he went to a great home!

Sorry again for being so absent :( I promise to ome back soon and show you the progress on my new store!

Random things

Yep, I know, it has been a while... but the good thing is I have some new things to share! My paypal account was finally looking nice so I went on an etsy shopping spree! Oh the goodies! I think it was more fun then going down the mall.
My favourite purchase of all was the cool wallet I brought from Cotton Purr. her stuff is GORGEOUS!


Lilly also underwent a make over!! She now looks so cute! Lilly wants to have it shorter but I have told her that I will need to think about it. Do you like her outfit?? It was from Hilarywagstaff. She has some really cute blythe clothes! As Lilly is starting to send me broke, I am thinking about making her some clothes myself.... (Another project to add to the list!)

Until next time... peace out!!
