Closed for the holidays!

Well we are closed now from today until the 5th January, I'll still be working behind the scenes but emails and the like may be slower to be answered, as I spend time with the family and get our own Christmas Treats organised.

Now taken from my newsletter.

Well can you believe it's nearly Christmas. This year certainly has flown by. The Cherub house has certainly had it's share of challenges and hiccups this year, but here's hoping from a fresh start and alot less hiccups for 2010.
Well we are closed now from today until the 5th January, I'll still be working behind the scenes but emails and the like may be slower to be answered, as I spend time with the family and get our own Christmas Treats organised.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support and patronage I've received throughout the year, it means alot to Shane and I that we continue to receive this.

The Cherub children have had a fun packed and busy year. Amy has just finished first year Uni, Sarah has just finished year 11. William has thoroughly enjoyed his preppie year and little Miss K is blasted her way through kindy having a ball and making us laugh at every turn with her antics.

I've sneakily stocked some semi-customs over the last few days, but that's it folks until I return in the New Year. I'm planning a larger than normal stocking late January or early February, so keep your eyes peeled on my blog for updates.

I'd also like to send out a massive thank you to my Angel who has gone above and beyond the call of duty in the last few months, to keep the Cherub's Kiss family on an even keel and dealt with all the emails and everything.

Thank you also to all the Mums, Dads and bubbas that have turned up for my photo shoots, you have all been an absolute pleasure to have onboard.

The draw for the free nappy from photos sent it, will be drawn in the next couple of weeks and the winner notified by email and posted on the blog.

The Cherub Family look forward to keep you in divine creations in 2010, with a few surprises in the mix.

Also don't forget that Gossamer Dreams Team take a well earned break in January, but will be back in February to take your breathe away yet again.

Merry Christmas and a safe and peaceful New Year to you all.

Surprise!

Well due to one little miss being unwell, I don't think I'm going to have anymore ready made stock to go up on the site. So I've decided to list a handful of semi-custom slots.

What's a semi-custom slot - you can choose size and type, but I won't send photos of available fabrics, the fabrics you want need to be chosen from my galleries on either
Cherub's Kiss, OZeBaby or Gossamer Dreams or by going through the blog. I'm sorry no hand dyes or appliques. Just the standard range of napppies that I have.

These are pre-orders and such won't be making their way to you until after I re-open in January, if I find myself at a loose end they 'might' come earlier, but please do not expect them until the 2nd week of January.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and safe and peaceful New Year

What a gorgeous bunch of children!

Well I had my second photo shoot yesterday - 11 gorgeous babies, 12 gorgeous outfits, lots of cupcakes and watermelon. A beautiful day - not too hot, not too cold. Everyone was fairly happy though one little tiny cherub dropped her lip as I was getting her dressed :( But she forgave me later :)

A huge thank you to my photographer Trudy,who drove a very long way and worked very hard all morning. Everything pretty much went according to plan, and bubs and parents were all happy and relaxed, just what you want on a beautiful summer's day.

So of course here are just some of the many, many photos that were taken.

The divine Mr T, attitude and spunk for this little man and I think the nappy suited him perfectly - it was perhaps my favourite nappy of the day.



At the end of the morning, all the 11 children, with their santa hats and cupcakes. And yes I made the cupcakes, and given what happened a bit later, I think the children enjoyed them, keep checking the blog for the rest of the piccies.



The very delightful Miss A - who was an absolute dream, and followed instructions to the letter, she brought along her very gorgeous older brother as well, they both have the most divine eyes, but here is a piccy of her very beautiful curls and her twirly dress.





And last but not least the very photogenic Miss Abby, who was has the most amazing model poses, and kept Mummy and photographer in stitches with her cuteness and willingness to do anything asked of her.



A massive thank you to the mummies and daddies that brought their wonderful children to my shoot. You should have all by now received another email from me with more details, let me know if you haven't. A huge thank you also to Jade for the lend of her cupcake tree. My photographer Trudy, you've done all I asked and more, and my darling DH who has put up with my incessant stressing over the last couple of weeks, trying to get everything all finished and showcase the best of Cherub's Kiss products. By the way whose insane idea was it to have a photo shoot and Gossamer Dreams stocking on the same day.

More pics to come of all the other bubbas over the next few days.

Merry Christmas

Well here's the end result of the Christmas Auction that went up recently.





And here is the most gorgeous little man who was the recipient of said garments, isn't he just the most handsome boy.





Now I'm running myself ragged trying to get goodies finished for both Gossamer Dreams and my photo shoot. So don't expect any more random stock up on the store until at least Wednesday. Most of the items for Gossamer Dreams are newborn to size 1, as I've left them both by the wayside lately, and I felt the need for newborn goodies.

I hate being ill

with a passion. It frustrates me, drives me batty and puts me so behind :(

Anyways 5 days with no sewing done, doesn't make me a happy camper. But I'm back into it today - finishing the very last of a large custom order and then the Christmas Set from the Auction - which if I do say so myself is too cute for words.

Then it's making nappies/sets for the photos shoot, more of my to do list, though it is so much smaller and I've promised Shane and Angel that I WILL NOT add to it before Christmas, so that I do get a small break with family over the Christmas period.

And last but not least stock for the CK shop, I have lots cut out, just waiting to be snapped, even some very popular old favourites that were hiding in the cut box oops!

Oh and nearly forgot Gossamer Dreams - oh dear - lots of little baby items I think from me, think soft, white, snuggly and cute.
