Wrapping & Packaging your gifts is one of my favourite parts along with the actual sewing!

My least favourite parts are printing the postage labels & sewing on the labels.

We haven’t had a washing machine for over a week now… and it’s been killing my soul, the piles, oh the piles 🥴

Pre-kids I only washed on weekends & the piles never worried me, nowadays I wash every single day, at least once!

Are you an every day washer or a weekly washer? Or maybe somewhere in between?
Ps. If you’d like to place an order for a gift box, bibs, burp cloths or breast pads please just send me a message!

I finally made it to my sewing chair! And gee it feels good!

A sneak peak at some gorgeous new 100% cotton muslin wraps with hand drawn Australian designs.

This particular order will be making its way overseas to a very special friend as a reminder of home!

Where have we been, you ask?! Wait, what month is it?

The truth is, I found my feet in April, the balance of 2 under 2 & a little time for myself (sewing)… we were winning at life.

And then a few mice came to visit, so I packed all my beloved sewing stuff away into plastic box homes, for a “week”. And then they brought their friends, & their families and they look over, hundreds & thousands of them..

The girls and I packed our bags and left to the coast to visit grandma for a fortnight while Dad went into exterminator mode.

6 weeks later he deemed it safe for us to return!
So we did!
And here we are!!

A few weeks of deep cleaning, catching up with our beloved animals, 12 puppies & a 2nd Birthday…

WE ARE BACK! I’m not sure what “back” looks like exactly, but if you need a gift for a new bubba/ mumma, send me a message! I’d love to help! 💛

and thanks, for sticking with us & for all the lovely messages checking in on us!

Today instead of sewing at nap time, I will be vacuuming & cleaning the kitchen after Charlie and I made some ANZAC biscuits.
They really are a quick & easy, 1 bowl wonder until you add a toddler in the mix!

We have very limited numbers left in stock & it can be paired with blue, pink, yellow or red gingham bibs 💙💖💛❤️

I’ve had a few people ask how on earth I am managing to sew at the moment with a newborn & a toddler?!

The truth is, sewing is my “me time” like reading a book or watching TV might be for others.

Some weeks I seem to get a lot of me time, others I barely even give the machine a passing nod (that’s been this last week).

What do you do for “me time”?

I’ve never really liked pink! Mum often shares the story of me telling her “me not wear pink, me wear gween” and that was that.

But since having 2 girls & sewing with this gorgeous fabric, I’m officially converted to being a dusty pink & eucalyptus green kinda gal!

• Ready Made Gift Boxes •

If you know of a little one arriving any day or have a baby shower soon, I have a number of ready to go gift boxes!

I am aiming to get them loaded onto the website in April, but the girls love playing nap tag, which means timeframes aren’t my friend, so June could easily become the new April!

Shoot me a message if you are in need of a gift, I would love to help you out!

It’s been a month since little Sophie joined us! 💗

I am still aiming to be back sewing in April, starting slowly with mini releases, as I find my feet (here’s hoping the girls stop tag teaming & start sleeping at the same time 🤞🏼)

I would love to know, what products you’re hoping to be restocked?
Gift hampers? Breast Pads? Bibs? Burp Cloths?
