Small Stocking Tonight 27th May

Some semi-customs and shock horror a couple of Splitsie's semi-customs. I've been off colour this week, so the ready to go stuff isn't quite ready to go hence the semi-customs, but there will be a small amount of ready mades as well.

All instocks will be posted Monday latest.

Pop along to Cherub's Kiss to see what's on offer.

All preorders were sent last week, bar two of the raph packs, which fingers crossed will go by tomorrow.

Don't forget you can keep up to date with happenings on our Facebook page - link is on the right of screen :) Would love to see you there :)

My life before nappies

Was smocking and heirloom sewing and although it still is to a degree. I still do some sewing and I still design on a semi-regular basis. But the teaching of smocking has taken a backseat for at least the next couple of years.

Australian Smocking and Embroidery Issue 91 is due to hit the stands I believe in early June, and here is my contribution.



Little Miss K is modelling it before I sent it in for submission



If you'd like to purchase the magazine Australian Smocking and Embroidery you can pop along here

It's not up there yet but I'm sure it will be in the next couple of days.

Support a Charity

Would you like to help out a worthy charity? Well pop along to Harry's Rocky Road and support Redkite - providing real support to children, young people and their families through cancer has remained Redkite's single focus for over 26 years.

$2 from everypack goes to Redkite. Please dig deep and support this wonderful charity - and of course Harry's delicious Rocky Road.

And for all of those that purchase a pack of this wonderful chocolate, if you email with with a picture of you or yours holding a pack of this wonderful chocolate you'll go into the draw to score a Cherub's Kiss Splitsie!!

Girly Explosion!

Pink and girly was the brief for these hand dyed raphaels - and I think I got it spot on - the photos really don't do the marbled dyeing justice, but I hope you get the idea.



They are all bamboo velour dyed in shades of Rosebud, Fuschia, Hot Pink, Amythest and Pumpkin. 3 Marbled ones and 3 in various ways of dyeing. All overlocked with pink maxilock swirls.



Cathy I hope you like them :)

And a Quote for the day - sent to me by a gorgeous lady who has supported me and helped me stay sane recently.

The littliest Cherub

is growing up - she'll be 4 this July, where the heck did that go - can you remember when she looked like this? In a longie/skort from Ali aka Bumnround



Well now she looks like this and she's being supremely cheeky - I've had this Tikki Rainbow Dress made for nearly 2 weeks but until today she refused to put it on - as I was making it she was - is it finished, is that mine, is it done. Then it was done and she didn't want to put it on lol!! But she did today - I think Daddy might have had something to do with that. I find so little time to make for my cherubs at the moment, so knitting - and I'm only a beginner, I think this makes project no. 5 - I can do at night (when I can't see to sew) and I'm home alone with the littlies. William has reqested a vest, so after I finish what I'm working on now, shhhh! I can't tell you what it is, the mama might be listening :) He's next in the queue.



Anyways back to Rainbow Dress - the colours are just divine and I'm obviously a slack knitter but I think it might have come from Elissa and Kris. I used 200g of it eek! Cause the last Rainbow I made was too short, and the plain purple is from Tangled Yarns. Sacrilage that I don't knit a test square, oops, but if I did that, nothing would get made - Tikki is you are reading, just ignore that bit lol! Anyways I knitted up the size 3 with lots of added length, I basically just kept knitting till I ran out of wool.



So yes she's gone from super dark dead straight hair to very blonde and wavy, with some little curls and it's finally growing back after the mass haircut via her brother last year.

If you have a girl

and you aren't Kylie or Lisa then you'd better not look cause I think there is going to be some serious girly fluffy envy out there lol!

Okay so here they are.

Kylie's brief was super girly and pink! I think it qualifies, I had so much fun making this one - I love pink and pistachio, so clean and fresh but still oh so girly.



The frills are just frilly beyond belief and it's a lush pale pink inner as well. Just divine.



And here are Lisa's - Lisa sent her own fabric, a fav of mine too, it's Saffron Craig's Tulip Fairy - In a Splitsie (I really must think of a name lol) and a all cotton front with denim back.



All so incredibly girly. I hope you like them :)
