In between myself being sick and my mum in hospital over the long weekend, I managed to get these beautiful dresses made. The lovely Stacey got in contact with me asking if I could make something for Rock and roll dancing. I knew exactly what she was after, a dress that had the right amount of twirl factor, a little modification to the pattern and these came out perfect. Not sure which one I love the most, but I think the girls look absolutely amazing. Thank you Stacey and Jessie for sending me through the photo and allowing me to post it on my page 🥰

New additions to the family are always something to celebrate. My client welcomed a new granddaughter to the family business and what better way to do so is with custom printed clothing. Congratulations to you all 🥰

Well I think that winter is well on the way with how cold the nights and mornings have been. Winter sports are in full swing now and they are keeping me rather busy taking the kids here and there! The mould is now resolved and I’m back out in my little studio, I snuck these custom printed bodysuits in between working on a couple of dresses. Love how they turned out 😊

Hey everyone, well I had expected to be back in my little studio by now, but when I was having a good tidy up, I unfortunately found some mould at the bottom of one of my shelving units that was also on/in the carpet 😔 Luckily I knew exactly who to get hold of, the amazing team at ChemDry Taranaki 2008, they gave me some advice with how to initially deal with it, then came out and sprayed some magical mixture on the mouldy patch. Since the initial treatment, I have cleaned the carpet and they popped out again to apply more of their magic to the affected area. So it’s looking a whole lot better now. I’ve still got my dehumidifier running and will do so the rest of the week and weekend. Fingers crossed that I can be back in front of my machines next week.

So if you’re in need of carpet cleaning, your couch cleaned or your pipes have sprung a leak, give the team at ChemDry Taranaki a call.

My last order for the year was a beautiful woollen vest with matching BTP short sleeved dress with a princess neckline. One thing I love about this style of dress is the twirl factor. Thank you Tabitha for asking me to make these for your niece, I’m sure she will look amazing in them 🥰

Another year and another pair of boxers for some of the coolest boys I know! This year we went away from having a Christmas theme, so monster trucks and zombies it was lol Their mum is one of my besties and the conversations we have are hilarious to say the least, thought I’d let you read what the boys say about their boxers 🤣

Nothing like a personalised gift for Christmas. My lovely customer supplied the drink bottles for me to put names on for her nephews. A nice big font helps to make sure they grab the right ones and can be returned to their owner easily, as we all know kids are great at loosing things at school 🤦🏻‍♀️

How awesome is this photo? My lovely client sent me this photo of her boys wearing their custom shirts I made for them, I think they look amazing. Thank you so much for sending it to me and allowing me to post it. I love everything about this photo.

I love seeing photos when my clients send them through to me, and I always ask if I can post them to my page, as I know some parents don’t post their children on social media for one reason or another. This is something I respect, so you may see the odd photo on my page with something covering the child’s face 😊
