I need an apron – spam me!

Just saying

Over the past week or so I have gotten back into baking and as such each day I tend to go up to school with flour on the back of my jeans and all manner of bits and blobs stuck to my shirt (yes I am usually running late so tend to forget to check my appearance before leaving the house).

I think it is about time I got myself an apron, so I can avoid those floury hand prints on my backside.

I tried googling, but so far am yet to unearth something I like or many aprons at all.  I have found plenty of cute ones for kids, which of course I will do a feature on.

So if anyone knows of anyone, or make them, please spam me and save me from further public embarrassment when I leave the house.

 I need an Apron – spam me!

Featured Store: Made by Miffy

Featured/ New Product/ Wear

Made by Miffy has a brand spanking new store online.  So now you now have two places you can shop when looking for these gorgeous items, Made by Miffy and the Etsy Store.

In store you can find a large selection of groovy boardshorts for boys in a range of sizes and fabrics including some for bigger kids as well, which is fantastic as the older kids tend to get a bit neglected.

Mix these with a cool shirt and you have one of the funkiest boys around, bound to upstage all the other kids in the playground in his cool shorts.

It is no secret I love black on kids, and black and white is always a great combination.  Black stands out from the rest and with so many great fabrics now days to choose from, you can still have the girly element whilst being funky.  And the best thing about black?  It just doesn’t show the mess.

A Little Bit Country handmade finds

I had to pick my son up tonight from ‘the bull ring’. It is harvest time here and so he went for a run in the truck with his dad.  So the bull ring is my inspiration for tonight.

I am a country girl at heart, had a thing for cowboys (and yes for a short time even dated one who did the whole rodeo thing) and always wanted chickens and a vegie garden.   I have my chickens and my moderately successful vegie garden, which is probably more food for chickens than my family.  Thankfully I don’t have the cowboy anymore.

So here are a few things ‘a little bit country’:

Discovering the wonderful world of handmade

Just saying

Welcome to our new blog space – we have now swapped over from our old site to our new WordPress home. Hope you enjoy our new layout!

Pre-children I was never a huge follower of fashion (although I have to admit, I did follow the ra ra skirt & elastic belt craze), however after having my children I started to take an interest all those gorgeous things available for kids.

Then I discovered the online shopping for kids world a few years ago.  I also discovered just how many talented and unique things there are out there for kids that are handmade.

When mentioning handmade a lot of people tend to think of the items your mum may have made you as a child when she refused to buy you that expensive label item – I can remember my mum telling me should would get a Billabong label and sew it on another shirt once and I wouldn’t even know the difference.

So if you know of anyone who is a crafter of handmade, please send me a link or let them know about this blog.

If it is Australian made and made for kids, then we would love to feature it.
