My 500 Liker Thankyou!! Post a comment to win xox

On the 5th of March, 2011, less than 4 months ago, 4 Lil Babushkas opened!! I have stumbled along the way, and am still slowly learning the ropes of an online business. But I have met some amazing customers during this process! I never in a million years thought I'd be at 500 likers in such a short space of time...but I am getting closer and closer!! As a HUGE thankyou to all of my likers, I have decided to giveaway an Organic Cotton Long Sleeved Tshirt in this season's newest and might I add, funkiest colour!! It has only been released and I am soo glad to have been one of the first shops to be in line to nab some!

The winner will get to choose the size required, with sizes starting from 00 and go up to Size 6. Please bare in mind these organic cotton tees are rather fitted, and to ensure ample room, I would advise choosing the next size up to what you would normally purchase for your child! Even the fabric choice will be given to the winner so please peruse my fabric album on my facebook site for fabric choices:)

All you have to do to enter this competition is to comment on the new colour in the Organic Cotton range and what fabric you would choose to have appliqued onto it if you were the winner. Then, I will use Random.Org to generate the lucky winner's number, correlating to their post comment!! For example...comment Number 1= Number 1 in random.org and Comment 2= number 2 and so forth!! Obviously, if I have commented below another person's comment, I am not included. The numbering of comments only relates to anyone that's not mwah!!!If you become a follower of my blog and a facebook liker, that entitles you to enter a maximum of three times to enter and three times more likely to win!! One for commenting, one for following my blog and one for becoming a liker of my facebook site!! So, please get commenting!!! Have fun people and thankyou from the bottom of my heart for all of your love and support thus far!!

Adieu xox

I have decided to open a Made.It storefront for my handmade items!

After asking many people about where they prefer to purchase handmade goodies, the concensus was Made.It!! So, to accomodate these customers, I have decided to open a Made.It storefront!! I have already set it up, now to just continue sewing more items ready to list!! I have really been getting into all things Vintage atm, and have even raided my Mother's 20 year old kitchen utensils and her stash of lace and fabrics!! She couldn't believe it when I took a gorgeous hand crafted Potato Holder made from pottery that's 20 years old!!! She had it heading to the trash!! But, as they say, another man's trash or woman in this case, definitely became my treasure!! Here is a little snapshot of a Vintage Style Long Sleeved Organic Cotton tee I've lovingly hand stitched using super fine thread, ready to list in my Made.It store!
I have fallen in love with the beauty of yesteryear, and only wish we could all go back to that time when life was much slower paced and simple:) The idyllic lifestyle though, would definitely not have seen me 'blogging'!! I would've been talking on the olden style phones and in an out house!! Life really does fly by! But on another note, I have also stumbled across some 1982 Smurf linen (an old bedsheet actually!) and have purchased it ready for a gorgeous appliqued item!! Will keep you in the loop as to when it arrives!! When completed, the Smurf item will also make an appearance into my new store!! Till then, Ciao xox

Am having so much fun hearing the creative ideas from my likers!


Here is the Imported Japanese Lil Girl Dolly fabric I have asked my likers to view...in order to create an appliqued Organic tee!! Whoever has the most creative idea, will be awarded a $5 voucher towards a custom order or any item in my shop!! I really love to see what other people create in their own minds and it is super fun for them to see their creation emerge once I complete their suggestion!!! Here is the lil skirt I want the tee to co-ordinate with and I will even make a matching hair accessory!

Have fun creating and most of all...thankyou to everyone for sharing your ideas!! Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all ideas are beautiful :))
