Some new Customer Photos...

I've been sent some new customer photos recently that I thought I'd share with you all.

This first photo was sent to me by Deb from Fabricated, who is a fellow stallholder at the Boutique Markets. She makes, among other things, fabulous adults and kids handbags by recycling denim jeans and adding all sorts of embellishments. Click here to visit her blog.


This is her gorgeous daughter in one of my embellished singlets and a custom made skirt. Isn't she the cutest! I don't make top & skirt sets anymore but I'm always happy to custom make a skirt to go with a top or vice versa.

The next couple of photos were sent to me by Amber from Fresh Fabric Australia. Amber was lucky enough to win a giveaway from Handmade Kids which was the girls bundle of items that were part of the first Creative People's Challenge. In that bundle was my "Betsy-Lou" who I made just for this challenge.

Here's a photo of Amber's gorgeous 10 month old daughter deep in conversation with Betsy-Lou...


and here's a couple of her 2 year old son putting Betsy-Lou to bed...



I'm so glad she went to a good home where she is obviously well loved...

If you're looking for some beautiful fabrics, make sure you visit Amber's Etsy store Fresh Fabric Australia. Finally, someone opened a fabric store on Etsy based here in OZ... YAY!!

Lastly, if you have any photos you'd like to send, please email them to me at littlediva @ aapt.net.au (make sure you give me permission to put them on this blog and my Facebook Fan Page).

The BrisStyle Market will be here soon...

Just a reminder of the BrisStyle Market coming up on Saturday 4th July.... Hope to see you there..


Just a quick post today as I've got the house to myself ALL day so I can actually get some sewing done.. YAY !! It's a bit quiet though.... I think I'd better crank up the music!!

P.S. It was just pointed out that my "Snigglebottom's" were featured on the Handmade Kids "Fabulous Friday Finds" yesterday - they're definitely in good company!

Creative Challenge Revealed....

You might remember a month or so ago I signed up for the "Handmade Kids" Creative Challenge - read the post here. I was sent a lovely little package with fabric, felt and ribbons and my first thought was to make one of my Snigglebottom's, as of course they are made from fabric and felt with a little ribbon around their waist.

But then I thought that would be too easy and I needed to challenge myself to make something else. So here she is..... meet Betsy-Lou:


You can read the blog post here on the Handmade Kids website. Betsy-Lou will be part of a giveaway on their website at the end of June.

My next creative challenge....

I feel like I've been doing the same thing over and over again recently so I felt like I needed something different to do. Then I read the Handmade Kids blog and they have started a fantastic thing called the "Clever People Challenge".

I put my hand up (well, replied to the post) to do the challenge and in the mail the other day I received my mission...

I've been sent this gorgeous little bundle of goodies and I've already drafted my ideas.


I have to create something especially for kids using some or all of the contents above. My creation will be back to Handmade Kids by the end of May and it will be done as a giveaway during June. Great idea heh !!

I'll keep you posted on how it's going and I guess we'll see if I really am clever.....
