Hear ye! Hear ye!

Hello hello!

I have finally made up my mind to have a market night on my Facebook page and I have finally made a date. So grab your diary...iPhone...iPad...calendar....whatever you use to 'make a date' and put in it....

I have a little bit of stock made and ready to go but still have a lot more I want to have on offer. Yoyo clips are always a favourite so I am hoping to get quite a few of them made. Might decorate some one of a king beanies too since we're coming into the cooler weather now!

Apart from my post earlier in the week I haven't actually done much crafting this week. Good news is my new little 'table'..is still clean and tidy! Why? Because I haven't used it! ha!

Anywho, the weather has been terrible here over the last 24hours but I am hoping it calms down for tomorrow morning so I can enjoy the first Cobbity Village Markets for 2013!! Can't wait to see all the stallholders and all of their goodness.

Buzzzzy Bee!

It feels longer than 8 days since I last updated my blog! I have just been run off my feet lately...it's good but tiring.

BB's First birthday sale started tonight!! It's going really well, sold around half of the items that I have uploaded which is good. I still have till Tuesday until it closes so hopefully I will have a couple more sold by then!

But now that it is 'over' so to say, I have to start on all of my orders! I think I have around 6 or 7 orders to get through that were booked before the sale began. Should keep me busy for the next two weeks! You can see in my pic above a couple of the sale items. One is a OOAK headband piece that I made and think it looks quite good so I may make them in other colours/combos but keep each one OOAK so that they are unique and special. I have also found some cute flowers which look a lot nicer once I have waved my magic fingers over them.

I've also been lucky enough to have some of my items taken in professional piccies! In the top left corner is Lil Miss A and I absolutely ADORE this picture. It is so cute and so cheeky, very vintage looking. Then on the bottom right is a piccie taken by Kylie at Daylight Imagery at one of her shoots the other day. It is such a beautiful and bright shot! Plus the headband complimented the pettiskirt perfectly! Of course to fit the pic in I had to cut out the pettiskirt but if you wanna look at the whole picture then you can go here CLICK HERE.

So apart from BB news, I have started my placement for my course. I had an awesome first day and pretty much just went with the flow of things. This monday coming is a public holiday so I don't go back for another week and a bit. Ontop of that I have been going to the dentist the last 3 Fridays, plus today and next friday AND now I have to see the Physio on Fridays too. So it looks like Friday will be my medicals day for a while. JOY! As long as they both fix me up then thats all that matters.

Hope everyone has a great long weekend!

TTFN.

I'll grab a cup of 'time' thanks!

I would consider myself a reasonably busy person. I work part time, studying plus running BB as well as having a life and trying to find time just for myself. The last thing I have got NONE of lately...but thats ok!

I have been busy making some sale stock, so far I have 8 daisy bows with a special embellishment...can you guess?? And slowly I'm getting some yoyo clips made. I think I'll have about 8 of those once I am finished.

I've also been doing my orders. I got two finished this week and I have just finished another tonight. I have another two left, one which is easy...one not as easy. The little singed flowers in the top right corner are part of one of the orders and I think they look sooo cute together! I am tempted to make a trio headband.

I have also been slack with updating my stock. I have all new crochet headbands and beanies and haven't even listed them. I also have my lovely new peonies (pictured bottom right) and haven't listed those either!!

This weekend I have two special events on. Saturday I have one of my school girlfriends wedding, which should be a GREAT day. I love getting together with my girls. I did want to make something special to wear in my hair but I am struggling to get creative.

I also have my Nans 89th birthday on Sunday! We're going out with some friends for lunch, one of them shares the same birthday so we thoughts why not kill two birds with one stone.

Please someone send me some more time!! Oh with a shot of energy....actually make that a double!

TTFN. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

When it rains, it pours!

I have been a busy little bee the last week! Everyone seems to put their orders in at the same time but I can't complain! First of all I hope that everyone had a great Easter! I know that I did but didn't eat as much chocolate as I should of, so I have heaps left over! I was sick over the Easter long weekend though which kinda sucked! I ended up having to go on antibiotics for sinusitis. Almost 2 weeks afterwards and I think it has left me for some other poor unsuspecting human being. *Fingers crossed*

I have actually been playing with a lot of new ideas over the last 2 weeks which has been refreshing and exciting. I have been playing with my bling buttons on my rannies and on my petunias. I have a pic of the purple petunia on the bottom left. This one will be off to Kylie at Daylight Imagery for her photoshoot. Hoping to have all of her items ready by the end of this week so I can post them off next week! Although I'm not expecting my shoot to be done anytime soon as Kylie has now gone fulltime with her business and is pretty packed out!

One of my customers, Tara liked the look of one of my headbands and asked if I could make it in a clip for her to put on her DDs beanie. So with a few tweaks here and there I was able to replicate it and it looks simply devine on the hot pink beanie...pictured above on the top right.

I have also been playing around with my photography 'skills' lately. I use the term skills loosely. I have seen some of the ladies on an american forum take some lovely pics of their products with funky background and though I would have a go at it. So I made myself some backgrounds and printed them off on the computer. You can see one of my pics on the bottom right. The red rannie looks pretty awesome against the black and white damask print and I have to admit that it would probably be one of the better photos I have taken LOL I have another one on my camera which I'll have to load and see if it's any good. I am thinking that before printing off the background maybe I should 'blur' it abit in photoshop first and then I'll get the required look regardless if my camera wants to focus or not. heh...Ok thats cheating.

Last but not least I hope everyone has a great Mothers Day. I am not 100% sure what is going on this year with my MD as my plans and my boyfriends mothers plans seem to have clashed a little bit. This brings me to my pic in the top left corner....those are my cool new funky kitty slipper sock/shoe type things! They were out for mothers days gifts but I couldn't pass them up and I'm glad I didn't. They are super comfy and keep my little tooties from getting cold which is a massive thing considering my feet are ALWAYS cold.

Oh also I have created an 'event' on Facebook for my big first birthday party sale! Try saying that three times quick. For anyone who wants to join in on the festivities here is the link... http://www.facebook.com/breesbowtique#!/event.php?eid=128727477203046

TTFN. Have a great weekend! xoxo

First Sale!

Well I posted up my first sale today on my Facebook page and it has gone better then what I thought it would! The whole point of the sale was to get rid of stock that I had...however I ended up making new things for the sale too lol I couldn't help myself. But I guess making new stuff is kinda like getting rid of stock as I am making things with elastic and stuff....aahh yeah. Thats my reasoning.

I didn't get my website up and running like I wanted to over the Christmas break. I also didn't get ANY of my study done which I want to over the Christmas break and now I have two days left before I go back to work *sad face*. The first week of holidays went really well and I was enjoying it but then this last week has just flown by which kinda sucked haha

Hope everyone had a great chrissy and new years!!
