A busy, busy bee!

I have been MIA lately :) 
Busy gearing up for the summer market season, I have booked in for 4 markets at Remarkables Markets, Queenstown on 5, 19 November and 3, 17 December. 
Also you will find me at the Arrowtown Post Office Market Day on Tuesday 27 December - which is a great day to come and explore all that Arrowtown offers :)

This past month I have been busy building up stocks of gorgeous satin taggy blankets

plenty of baby bibs too - I have had some great customer feedback on the bibs, and I have increased the length of the bibs to give more coverage :)

And I am currently in the process of stuffing and sewing up 20 taggy giraffes - I love these wee guys, a perfect size for baby to hold - what do you think?

Sunhats are all the rage as summer draws closer!! 

I now have a selection of sunhats for babys & toddlers, and will be looking at expanding the range later this month to include a wider selection of sizes.

Here is a gorgeous photo of Miss Amelia exploring the garden in one of my latest hats and these can be found on my website http://littlepeanuts.co.nz/category_25/Sunhats.htm

I hope you are all enjoying spring so far, the weather has been fabulous and I must get out and finish preparing the vege garden - I really need to get the potatoes planted very soon.  Or there will not be any new potatoes for Christmas!!

Thinking about Christmas

I have started thinking about Christmas and what crafty projects to make - and trying not to make what I see others are currently doing!!
So in the end I have decided to make Gift Sacks with felt appliques added :)

This reindeer was the first one done, I think he is my favourite - looks quite cute don't you think?

And Santa is the 2nd attempt this morning - quite a bit more work involved than the reindeer, I also have a template I made for a snowman and that will be the next option.

Which one is your favourite?  - I would love to know, as I am thinking of making a few to take to the markets in November.

My website is finished!!

Yay - I have finally finished the website for on-line shopping, and have been spending a bit of time tweaking all the bits & pieces.  Takes quite some time as I know nothing about script!  But have managed to made a few changes to my template.  Have a browse and let me know what you think (I hope I have fixed all hiccups) and share with any friends you think might be interested :)

I just need to get a few more photos sorted - I find they are the hardest part of the creation process.  Now that the weather is warmer I can get the kids outside for a few photos to see how they all turn out. 

Spring Update

wow - it is forever since I posted on here, life has been very full on at the moment.  Sewing madly to keep stock levels up and doing the family thing keep me occupied!
I am in the process of creating my very first website - so stay tuned for the opening, which will be very soon as I am almost finished tweaking all the little bits & pieces (so I hope) - has taken me quite some time as I know absolutely nothing about websites and templates etc. 
I hope you are all enjoying the start of spring and have loads of things to look forward to (like Christmas!!) - which reminds me I am about to start a little sewing project for the kids next week that involves Christmas.  Will post photos with the results :)
