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!

Fun stuff!

Today was a fun filled day!! I started the day with some house work and then headed off to the shop. I got some super cute stuff too!! I was also in need of a new note book for my new ideas and got the cutest one I could find! Only $2.5o too!! Gosh I LOVE $2 shops! Are they just the greatest!? It is amazing what stuff you can find there!

I have also OFFICIALLY finished my full time day job. I still can't quite believe it. It doesn't feel real yet. I am really looking forward to heading off to Queensland to get some rest and see some family. I think I will then be ready to go on with bigger and better things with Odds & Blobs.

I will try and check in while I am away and let you know how it is all going.

*Please remember that any new orders which come through in the next week will not ship until May 12th when I return.

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!!
