Well it's been a long 3 days



and it's not quite finished yet - still more shelves to build and floor to go in but at least it is again usable and I can find everything. It was an absolute nightmare the last few days trying to pack orders, when I couldn't find the tape, or the paper or the bags or the boosters ............... well you get the idea.

But isn't it awesome!!!!! Hugest thanks go to Shane's Dad for building the pigeonholes and Gerry my Stepdad for painting the room, it's a lovely shade called Sea Angel, a bit blue, a bit green. This is the only part I'm showing you for now, until the other bits are finished, but it's great.



Oh and this isn't all my fabrics either - the MM fleece, velour, microfleece is too bulky to store in little pigeon holes, so it's in other boxes elsewhere. Plus I have other cupboards that need tidying before I could think of showing anyone lol!!

I have been amazingly ruthless with my culling - mainly craft magazines, some fabric and trims plus a few patterns and bits and pieces.

But I can't wait to get started working again on more goodies. As you can guess from this post, no goodies were made this weekend.

The first lottery was drawn on OZeBaby and the winner notified. But don't despair there will be more and I'll probably just run them for a short amount of time.

A couple of days off .........

The majority of the sewing renovation is happening tomorrow, so no Caterpillars will be emerging from their cocoons until at least Sunday. I'll try and keep everyone updated here, but will be offline for a fair majority tomorrow and Saturday.

But when they start bursting from their cocoons again keep an eye out for some more special appliques.

Some Very Special Nappies

Thanks to the generosity of a lovely lady who sent me her own private fabric stash, there will be shortly on OZeBaby some more Munch Crunch Nappies. Some will be auctioned, some will be just for sale, and some will be lotteries.

The ones up for lottery will be for people who have never owned a Munch Crunch before, whether bought from me or not. Now whilst I can't police this, I take a dim view of people taking advantage of my generous nature and will, if push comes to shove blacklist those people from my purchasers list. Whilst this may seem to be an extreme measure, I am trying to remain fair and keep my prices reasonable and equitable for all.

I'll also have some appliquéd nappies up and these will be for auction. Most of them will be brand spanking new prints and appliqués, but some well loved ones as well. So keep your eyes peeled for the next few days. I am also in the middle of chaos as my sewing room at long last undergoes it's transformation, so I maybe a little slower answering emails than normal, please be patient with me.

Just a quick reminder to that I am closed for customs and due to recent events seriously have to rethink how I do customs in the future, if at all.

Please take a moment to read my updated terms and conditions on OZeBaby as I've changed a few items. Primarily it is now first to checkout on OZeBaby and that payment terms have changed as well. And I have also decided that I have the right to refuse to sell to anyone. These are steps that I haven't taken lightly and it has saddened me to have to do it, but I need to take care of my interests.

Wet and Rainy Sunday

But I've been steadily working away, so some more goodies soon.

We are 'finally' doing the sewing room next weekend, so I'm gradually moving stuff out of there to be stacked in my rumpus room, so the building work/painting can begin and in my cleaning out I've found a few treasures, and they'll be going up in the next few days, so keep your eyes peeled.

Oops!

Well I've been busily working away on items for Gossamer Dreams, so my store hasn't been randomly stocked. But starting tomorrow watch out !

Sarah's 16th Birthday

Well my darling Shane, made up a video for Sarah - so proud mama here - feel free to watch. There is one of my eldest as well, so will try and make sure she uploads that to the same username.



Sarah chose Chicken Pasta and Cookies and Cream Cheesecake for her birthday cake. Both were delicious.

And here's the cheesecake

Issues with the Store

I have no idea why the site isn't working like it should be, but I have informed tech support and hopefully they'll have it sorted sooner rather than later. If anyone has had issues may I suggest you email them, as there is nothing I can do this end.

I won't be stocking again like this until the issue is sorted out. But I will try and throw some nappies up randomly over the next few days.

I'm off to spend the rest of the night with my gorgeous family now. Will answer any emails tomorrow. For those of you who did manage to get two nappies, I'll also send revised invoices tomorrow.

Night all.

That's it

alrighty all the stock is up for today. Fingers crossed the automatics all work, as I had a doh! moment and put some up at 9am and of course I have school drop off, but I'll be back soon after that if they don't work to enable them manually.

The lotteries are open now and close just before 11.30 am tomorrow the 12th June.

I'll be working on the Gossamer Dreams Stocking next, but may put some random nappies up on OZeBaby over the weekend. William has his school fete on Sunday, so I'll be there pretty much all day helping out.

Back later with pics of the birthday girl :)

Isn't he clever

I had to teach today, so I left DH to snap these gorgeous hand dyed nappies. And how clever is here - he's matched snaps up with the dyed fabric, ever so funky.






And yes I still have more to come.

For a little boys 1st Birthday

A little set - ordered quite awhile ago before my custom list closed. And patiently waited for by my lovely customer.



A pair of little denim pants - with a print cuff and little back pockets The cuffs can be rolled up as required.



A little long sleeve t-shirt - with a snap front for those baby heads, that sometimes don't like to fit through standard t-shirt. Appliqued with an aqua minkee circle and hand embroidered with an ocean theme.



A size 2 Auriel with the same fish/coral print as the pants, and hand embroidered on the back to match the t-shirt with little boats, waves and fishies.

And can I just say I hate my camera lately :( It's just not working I have to take like 30 pictures to get one even half decent, time to go looking for a new camera sigh!!

So

I was better, and then William came down with a temp etc on Thursday and very kindly - not!! passed it onto to me. So I'm not very well at all :( Will start previewing on OZeBaby when I can, but stocking won't be till later in the week, if not the weekend. I'll get back to all those who emailed in the next day or so.

And this is how sick I am - I posted the above post on my craft blog not here sigh! Still feeling decidedly worse for wear :(
