Sale!! Check out my Facebook page!

Hello Everyone!

It's been a long time hasn't it! I have finally decided to stop selling on Etsy for now and am selling off my remaining stock. Almost all of my craft supplies have sold but I still have some lovely hair accessories, jewellery and a couple of sets of push pins/thumb tacks left.

I opened a Facebook page to sell my remaining stock. It is called Stitches and Love. All items have been discounted so there are some great bargains there! You can buy simply by commenting on photos of the items you want. Payment will be by direct deposit and I can post anywhere at the buyers expense.

Here are some photos of some of my items. You can buy and see more at my Facebook page.

This cute navy polka dot headband is my only headband that has custom spots available. You can get this made in any size you choose from newborn to adult. There are 8 spots available.

Cute mini puffs! In 0-1yr and toddler size.

Update and New Items in My Etsy Store

Well it's been awhile since I last posted. Things have been pretty crazy here for the last month with Pete having to go back in for more surgery and being bedridden for quite a few weeks. It's meant I have had to take on everything at home which I'm not used to as Pete helps out a lot. I'm so tired!! It was also Max's 5th birthday last weekend and I was busy whipping up a cute little chef costume for him.

Somehow in all of that, I have managed to list a few new items in my etsy store and have sold out of all my pre-made sets of hair ties!! A huge thank you to all of my lovely customers!! Here's a few pics of the new items.

Sweet Baby Headband

Sunflower Earrings

Fold Over Elastic Hair Ties - Choose Your Own Colours

I decided to try selling the hair ties in this format so customers could get exactly the colours they want. It seems to be popular as I have already sold a few. What do you think? When I get lower on my elastic stock, I will look at ordering new colours and try to get some more neutral elastics like a few of my readers mentioned during the competition that was run a little while ago.

Now that Pete is beginning to become more mobile, I will hopefully be able to start doing a bit more crafting again....and posting here too!

Giveaway Reminder!

Only 2 more days until the giveaway ends!! I would LOVE a few more entries so pop on over to this post and enter! It's super easy and open to anyone worldwide. And the odds of you winning are quite high! ;-)

My First Giveaway!

***Please note that this giveaway has finished. A HUGE thank you to all my lovely entrants and new followers!!***

It's giveaway time!!

I am totally amazed that my blog has hit 20,000 page views! Thank you to all my lovely readers.

I never imagined I would have so many people coming to my blog, especially in the short time it has been running.

As promised, it's time to reveal the giveaway!

The winner will receive a set of hair ties featuring glitter elastic and fold over elastic, a sweet pair of butterfly covered button hair clips, and a cute little flower pin cushion. I hope you like them! I already have hair ties in my etsy store and I will be adding covered button hair clips soon too!!

Now for the rules. The giveaway is open to anyone worldwide! To enter, you need to be a follower of my blog. Once you are following my blog, please comment below telling me you are following me. You MUST comment for it to count. For a second entry, please comment below with a suggestion of something you would like to see in my etsy store. You can take a look through my blog to see examples of some things I have made (this is only a very small sample!!). Or you could suggest something different! Please note though, it doesn't guarantee that your suggestions will end up in my store. I will definitely see what I can do though! Craft supplies are hard to get my hands on here in Mt Isa, especially at a reasonable price. Totally not a good situation for a crafty person!! haha

The contest will run for 1 week and end on Wednesday 27th March at midnight AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time). The winner will be chosen using a random number generator from random.org. Please make sure your email address is visible through your blogger account when commenting so I can contact you. I will announce the winner in a post on 28th March and email you.

Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to hear your suggestions!

Stitches and Love Store is Open!

Eeeek!! The store is finally open! I would love you to come and take a look. 

I've started things off with some cute little sets of hair elastics. 

Pretty Chevrons

Dusty Pinks

All packaged up and ready to go!

These elastics are made from fold over elastic (FOE) and glitter elastic. The FOE is super soft and much gentler on hair than standard hair elastics. I have used them for a few months now and love them! The glitter elastic is quite gentle too, just not quite as gentle as the FOE. I absolutely LOVE the glitter elastic. :-)

Please share my shop with anyone who may be interested. I will be adding lots more items as I make them and have lots of plans for more gorgeous hair accessories, toys, baby items, clothing and things for around the home. 

For all of you who love my fabric ball tutorial and pattern, I will be making some of these too!
