guess who HOPPED in2 town last night?..

Hi all, it’s 9.50am Aussie time & it has been absolutely pooring rain all night long..

Perfect weather for crafting though   :  )

I know I said I would try & come up with a new design each month but it is almost that time you know.. with the giving of the chocolate eggs and all..that other festive occasion you can’t escape thanks to the media, grocery stores etc

– ‘EASTER’.. so I couldn’t resist!

The dressed li’l pigs were such a hit – guess who happen to join them & dress up for the occasion & HOP into town?..

Looking over them now I’m thinking I should of made them in Hot Pink dress’s..

No your not going MAD! ..this isn’t a repeat post..

It’s 6.49am on a cool morning in Australia here this Friday the 16th March & I couldn’t sleep, thinking about the Kreativ blogger Awards nominees..Hoping that all chosen were pleased….  “AWESOME!!!”… they were more than pleased.  They were DELIGHTED, HUMBLE & APPRECIATIVE    :  )

I sure know how to pick ’em!…& for yesterday,

..Thank you to the huge response on the li’l pigs post.  I will definitely not hesitate in giving them a go on sweetartdiva.etsy.com

Hope you all are having a wonderful day just as I plan too   :  )

Cheers.

Good morning everyone   :  )

It’s just after 9am & the weather here in Australia is sunny & warming up quite quickly, I’m just waiting for the dew to dry from the lawn so I can take the children outside to wear them out a bit before their afternoon nap!

1 Motivated mom!

The morning has been a success yet again..

Another happy lady will be receiving her order earlier than expected.

Geezzzzzz I wish I was motivated like this allllll the time..   :  )

 

“Why is it we are motivated some days more than others..?”

GET COOKING SUPERMOM!

OK..6 hrs sleep under my belt & it’s 7am, hubby’s just left for work.  What’s that? ?

The kiddies are still asleep.  QUIIIIIIIIIIIIICK WHERE’S MY FELT STASH ? ?..

1 Moms gratitude in her handmade world..

It is the evening here in Australia right now & the weather is still quite warm & humid.  I have had my mother ‘n’ law over all afternoon & it has been lovely as a result of this I was fortunate enough to have spent most of my afternoon sewing up lil yellow bumblebees.  It’s always so nice when you have family who give you a hand from time to time with the children…

The bumblebees are part of a special order for a special customer who is always very sweet & appreciative of my handmade work.  You know who you are & I would like to say a special thank you to you for your repeat business & giving me the opportunity to do what I love best..

Cheers.

Tips for stay at home moms..

As you can see the day panned out not too bad..

Managed to finish off my lil tweetie birds (stitching only though..)

These darlings still need to be trimmed, backed & re-trimmed again even though I still just listed a few in store.  (I can never help myself – I love re listing)

It panned out so well because one of the children had an afternoon nap & I relished in the time I was given & spared from arguments, fighting & non sharing episodes!

Can I have more of these moments pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease……?       :  )

Are you a stay at home mom managing a craft business?  How do you do it?  Have you got any tips for me please?…..

Cheers.
