Owl Mobile Sale - Ends 22nd May

The owl mobiles are on sale! Like, drastically on sale! So pop on into the store and pick one up for a mere $AU45! Geepers… that’s almost half price!

They’re only going to be in the store until the 22nd of May, so if you want one you better grab one quick because once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Upcycled Denim Skirt Bag

A while back my sisters were given some clothes from a friend and in that pile of clothes there was a ridiculously short denim skirt.

Thankfully my sisters like to dress reasonably respectable so they just laughed at the skirt and threw it to the side. I, however, picked it up and claimed that I would turn it into a bag.

So I did just that:


I put a bottom in the bag so it was a bit bigger:

I lined it with a cool fabric to make it a bit brighter:


I made a strap out of a pair of old jeans so it could be worn comfortably and put a magnetic clasp on it so it would stay closed:

and I put ruffles of the cutest umbrella fabric on the pockets, just because I could:


I listed it in the Etsy Store this morning and it's gone already - to a lovely blog reader :)

And in other news, one of the sock owls made it into the "Hoo Luvs Ya" Etsy Treasury! Make sure you have a bit of a looksie at all the other cute owl stuff

More stock in the Etsy store

There is a new supply of owl mobiles in the Etsy store.

Go on check them out - you know you want to!

Bandana Bibs

This week I have been madly sewing bandana bibs as the amount of drool coming out of Little Snicker is driving me BONKERS!

If you haven't ever seen a bandana bib, basically it is a triangular bib... kind of like what cowboys wear. They are much more fashionable than your traditional bib, especially for older babies.

Anyway, I figured while I was sewing some for Little Snicker I'd also sew some extras:


Once I have put the snaps on this lot I will be putting them up in the Etsy Store. Make sure you swing by and check them out!

Finally...some things in the Etsy Store

I finally got some things into the Etsy store. I know, about time right!

Here are some pictures of the new sock owl mobiles:




And the robot tag blanket:


I am quite disappointed with some of the photos as I don't think they really show up how good the items look in real life, so I might have to have a bit of a play around with them and see if I can come up with some better ones.

I hope everyone has enjoyed their Tuesday!

An Exciting Announcement...

You may have noticed that I have been a bit quiet on the blog front, not really posting about the new and exciting things I've been making as much as I used to.

There is a reason for that...I have been busy setting up my Etsy.com store! There isn't anything in it yet, but it's still exciting, right?!?

As if that wasn't exciting enough, trust me when I tell you that things are about to get a whole heap more exciting as I have some VERY exciting news. Hold onto your hats people!

First, take a look at this:


What is it you ask? Well it is my 'sock owl box'. For the past couple of weeks I have been in negotiations with the lovely Claire from Craft Schmaft, to arrange the purchasing of a cottage license to enable me to make and sell her owl mobiles in my Etsy store. I am so excited! If you haven't seen Claire's stuff, I suggest you pop on over and take a look. There is some VERY cute stuff!

The first batch of owl mobiles should be in the store by the end of the upcoming long weekend with a bit of luck. Once they are up, I will be working on some tag blankets and pencil/crayon rolls to put in the store as well.

After years of procrastinating about selling my craft stuff, I am finally doing it. I hope to be able to generate enough income from it to at least buy craft products so that I can keep making stuff once the maternity leave money runs out.

Oh, and for those of you wondering how much money I've generated via Adsense... well as of right now, the balance is a whopping $0.00! lol... awesome
