Forever

It feels like I haven't blogged in forever. But that is just me, I am the same with a diary. I start off with good intentions then life catches up with me and I just don't give myself the time to sit down and blog. Well lets see how far I get this time. Mathilde is currently sitting on the coffee table watching the Wiggles. One part of my brain is telling me to go get her off and the other part of my brain thinks that she looks so damn cute sitting there :).

So I have relocated with the family to Longford. A quaint historical town 20 minutes south of Launceston. House is adorable, yard is nicely fenced off so Mathilde can play and it is very very quiet. But it is only quiet when the children and husband are not here! Have been busy making dresses for Hope and Me, brooches for Cocoon and new stuff for markets in the summer and for Mathilde. Got a new order for a gorgeous little shop in Launceston called The rabbit hole, so TillyBoo brooches are now being stocked there also.

Life is feeling very tiresome and still not enough hours in the day. I don't get to do near enough sewing as I would like, don't spend near enough time with my Isabella who is 12 or enough quality time with my husband. Then there is of course my to step-daughters and my Mathilde and oh yeah me. I did start to do Zumba 3 times a week which I was really really loving but haven't been for about 2 weeks and don't get to see my friends near as much as I would like.

Well there thats whats happening, Life!!

Have a beautiful day

Bay Bee Cino order

These range from 6 months to 2 years in sizing. Bay Bee Cino ordered these from me along with matching brooches, hairclips and bebe petit sacs.
This green one is definately my favourite
The Saffron Craig is a very close second. I love how I have used the two different fabrics.

Order complete

I got my first two orders from Cocoon Living and Bay Bee Cino. Cocoon are selling my gorgeous brooches and Bay Bee Cino are selling Pillowcase dresses, bebe petit sacs, brooches and hair clips. Make sure if you are in Launceston you pop in and have a look.

Within the next couple of weeks we are going to be busy packing we are moving to Longford which is about 20 minutes south of Launceston . A gorgeous little town that has 3 main events throughout the year. Blessing of the Harvest, Longford Show and the Longford cup on New Years day and all these events are within walking distance from our lovely little home.

Have a beautiful day

My gorgeous Mathilde Grace growing up so quickly. I love it when I upload pics onto my computer and find some that the children have taken.

Received a call the other day from Suze at Cocoon all the brooches sold need more!!!! How exciting but I don't get excitied. Don't get me wrong I love that what I make people obviously like but I just don't show the excitement. My husband on the other hand gets very excited and very very proud of me. So here is the new batch of brooches for Cocoon. Not so many of the red as this is vintage fabric cut from a top and now it has all run out but hopefully Suze's customers will love the other brooches.

The day I dropped off Cocoons order I decided to pop into the shop next door as Suze had given her one of my Bebe Petit Sacs. She placed an order for 4 of these, 4 pillowcase dresses and 6 brooches/hairclips. Now that is soooooo cool.

Check out the gorgeous new brooches I am making for Cocoon a designer homeware store based in Launceston. They are made from vintage, recycled and new materials, the buttons are clay and made locally by Trace Willans http://www.soewnearth.blogspot.com/ and are just fabulous.
