baby doll

I know! Another post about baby Sage within a day but geeez how cute is the girl! We received this sweet little set today from a very generous mumma and I couldn't resist showing off my baby doll.

I'm also very pleased to be able to show off her/my fav nappy:D Thankfully her little stump has finally come off her belly and she can model the ever delightful bits for bots. Most of her stash is bits for bots. Awesome nappies!

new

a new pixie......



and a new design. Both should be ready to go up in the shop tomorrow sometime. Only one lonely little pixie and about 9 tee's ranging from size 0 to 7. Then that may be it until after the bub....never say never though;)

Some more "new" things today...

a new journal. Nice and little to fit in the nappy bag, ready for inspiration to strike at anytime.



and new bargains for the new little bundle. I love 50 % off sales especially when it's stuff I've been wanting to buy for a while. Gorgeous pure baby newness. Oh and new bonds tee's (got some tik;)), I did say never say never didn't I:D



and new nappies....a fantastic, awesome, unreal, wonderful trade with a clever and creative Mumma. But these deserve there own post:D

gocco a goer.......and a giveaway

Today I finally had a go at a gocco on a t-shirt. I've been meaning to do this for months but just kept putting it on the backburner. Talk about immediate gratification! I'm so stoked with how this turned out and how easy it was.

The image is a boobook owl that I painted on a tee for Tully for her 3rd birthday. The image is the sketch I made not the actual painting. I really like how the gocco still has the look of a sketch. Now I have sooooo many ideas for new sketches and tee's, so hopefully this will see the rekindling of my interest in doing tee's, as to be honset it has dropped off somewhat.

Now here's the giveaway bit... I've been meaning to do a giveaway since my 200th post, now 18 posts later here it finally is. If you like the little owl and would like to have one for the special little person in your life just leave me a message and let me kow why you like owls (cause I do) and what size tee and gender preference you would like. I only have size 0 to size 2 available and it will be up to me as to what colour I do use, got a limited supply you see. The tee's will be stripey bonds, so hopefully the image will look good on a stripey background. I'll leave this open until Tuesday morning so just leave a message here if your keen.

Now onto the baby stuff for today. Saw my midwife and bub is behaving well. Head is just above my bladder (don't I know it) with it's back to the left. She asked if I had my bags packed! What! SERIOUSLY!!! I'm still expecting 4 -5 more weeks! So I came home and washed all my nappies just to make myself feel a little bit prepared! Don't they look lovely!!!

on my desk....

How staged does this shot look.... well I wanted to show off what I was planning to do today. So here it is.

A couple of tee's. The top one's a pelican that I'm loving the look of. Pelican's are one of my fav birds. It's so sad the effect the failing river Murray is having on the life of these and so many other birds and wildlife. Sure they aren't a threatened species at the moment but I hate to think what sort of future they have with such a stuffed up environment. sigh....

The other two are gifts for some little girl we will be seeing soon. More matryoshka's!!!

Some nappies that I purchased to gift to some expectant mum's who plan on using cloth. Yay for cloth bum bubba's:D They were seconds (i'm not sure why) so I have to remove the tags that have been half chopped off. Great nappies to help start some little people's stashes.

And lastly a litle knitting project I finished last night and just have to sew in the end bits. Little, as it's just a scarf for Tully. Yep I'm not a knitter. Can't follow the gibberish, but I really like to just knit. That's it though. Just plain garter stitch with no increases, short rows, k2tog or any of that crazy language. I was pretty stoked with my little effort. Tully tried it on this morning and promptly told me it was too tight. Now really... And then I saw this post from my sis and well I just felt a little less proud. Shesh...how come she got all the knitting talent. Blimey! And to top it off I just noticed when pasting the link how much it matches the matryoshka's I made for Tully for her birthday. waaaaaaaa!


Go check out some much more creative desks over here

seeking....

My stock of tees is getting low at the moment so I headed to the shops today to hunt some down. And this is ALL I came home with! Bugger hey! I think I left it a bit late:$ Only one boys one amongst them! Oh well, I do like the new winter colurs Bonds is using though.

Upon returning home i had 2 parcels waiting in my box. The very talented Donna from Bits for Bots had sent me this stunning nappy and some fab wool blend as a part of a trade. The nappy was an absolute surprise! How generous! Now this is why i love cloth nappies so much. How devine is that nappy compared to a piece of plastic? Not even worth comparing hey, especially if you could feel it! It's lush man!



My other parcel contained some much awaited wool felt from Winterwood toys Beautiful stuff. So I'm ready for the softies now :D Those tee's might just have to wait a bit.



And last is a piece of fabric I found in a little shop in Port Fairy. My little man loves fire engines so I couldn't leave it behind. Not sure exactly what it's going to become yet though.
