a stocking at Gossamer Dreams



Do you know it actually been years since I stocked a painted pixie tee? Years I reckon, well I can't remember the last one I did, so it must be.

Once upon a time, I churned these babies out weekly but slowly they evolved into softies and well the rest, as they say, is history. I must say however, amongst all those painted tee's there have never been anything like these very special rainbow antonia tops which will be going up tomorrow night at the Gossamer Dreams stocking.

These beautiful tops are made by Sara from Willow and Moo. I ordered a few of these for my girls and neice and mentioned to Sara i planned painting pixies on them, well one thing lead to another and Sara sent me a couple extra to paint up to sell. Well the tops waited and waited until finally I got my butt into gear and voila, here they are! And i am super dooper stoked with how they turned out. And you know, I still haven't painted my girls tops, shame on me!





It has also been quite a bit of time since I last stocked a pixie softie. When I was invited to take part in the Gossamer Dreams stocking and told the theme was wonderland, well how could I not make pixies! Josie will be my contribution for the night. I also have another in the works who didn't quite make the deadline and so will be appearing at Made it quite soon.



And for the boys there's Nesbert.



So the specs. Gossamer Dreams stocks the 15th of each month for only 24 hours. You will be able to see previews in the morning with everything going live at 8pm Queensland time.

been a long time ....



Yep, it's been quite some time since my last blog post, but it's been even longer since I did a bit of painting on the old t-shirt! A bit of screenprinting was going on at the end of last year but I honestly can't remember when I last painted a t-shirt for sale or even for my kids! Actually none of my children have a t-shirt I have painted for them! Sage has a little pixie that has come back to us that I painted for her cousin, but not one for the kids. Neglected aren't they! Well not for long I'd say.

I decided to paint some tee's for a stocking I have been invited to take part in at Gossamer dreams. The theme is the ocean and since I don't have any softies which fit the theme, I decided to paint. Of course Tully desperately wants the mermaid and it does happen to be her size but has decided she will be more than happy with Rapunzel. And since I'm enjoying painting quite a lot, I'll be fullfilling that request and hopefully even doing more for sale and for the neglected children.

I have to apologise to the mum's of boy's as I have neglected them in this stocking once again. The t-shirts are both very girly, well can you get much girlier than mermaids on hot pink? But I promise to make amends and will be ordering some more tee's today to paint and stock over at my madeit store.

So the specs...the stocking will be over at Gossamer Dreams Sunday evening. Go and check out their blog to see some previews and who else will be involved. It's been a bit of a hiatus since the last Gossamer dreams stocking so I know there is going to be lots of very very awesome wares up.
