It has been very very quiet for quite some time now around here as it has been far too difficult for me to keep up with website, social media, sewing, blogging, working, mothering and life so I have let it go unmanned and unposted on for quite sometime.
For me this has been hard, because I love to blog, I love to look back at what I have done and have a bit of a record Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-18763085155685406072011-09-10T13:38:00.001+10:002011-09-10T13:38:31.857+10:00Freebie Friday Winner!This morning, the little miss put her hand in the bowl...

Hello Hello!
Just so we are all informed... This week's Freebie will be as follows :)
For every All In Two Nappy purchased, you will receive a free snap in booster pad. (it already comes with one too, so you will have an extra one on hand for when the shell is dry before the booster!) That's for every nappy purchased too, so buy 1 AI2 and get 1 extra booster, buy 15 AI2's, get 15 Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-10786673322941634932011-08-30T10:23:00.000+10:002011-08-30T10:26:00.878+10:00Some Info for Friday...
September is usually a big month for us. There's a few reasons, such as the nappy hunt, the cloth nappy expo in Casey, we come out of general hibernation as springtime hits and its more inviting to head to markets, and usually reusable nappy week is on during the month also. So in light of all of this, I thought, what a better time to celebrate and have decided to run a promotion for Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-23768480924657426212011-08-29T13:19:00.000+10:002011-08-29T13:19:23.952+10:00It's that Time Again..
That's right, it is nappy hunt time again! Be sure to head over to their site and register to hunt so that you can have a chance of winning some of the awesome prizes!
We are sponsoring the hunt again, and having a huge 20% off at the website (excluding bulk packs) and also running a promotion called Freebie Friday!

These little cheesecakes were really yummy and I was aided very much when making them by a new pan I bought from the general trader.
How awesome is that? The bottom just pops up and your little cake doesn't get ruined from turning it out. ( I have smashed many a cake this way! ) The pan also Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-18426275987308228202011-08-19T10:54:00.003+10:002011-08-19T10:55:19.946+10:00Fab Friday...
Today I am finalizing a mending job for a lovely lady I met through the Australian Nappy Network.
It's okay Katrina I haven't forgotten you, the elastic in your nappies is nearly finished!!
I am also working on some of those things I said I would do for my week off.
I bought this pattern a couple of years ago at the op-shop, its an old spotlight "get creative" pattern.

A few photos from the market in Bulleen on Sunday. It was a great day out and I was so pleased to have been involved with a gorgeous market day at Fairy Floss.

Catching up on some of my latest projects...
I said the other day that I haven't really done much sewing lately. Mostly because its calisthenics season, meaning that all I get time to sew is costumes. This year's costume challenge for me was a hippo.
It was a big challenge, but certainly not as difficult as last year's alien! Miss Ruth thinks its pretty awesome and she looks very cute Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-53707349622179568882011-08-13T23:21:00.000+10:002011-08-13T23:21:35.640+10:00
I'm Playing my guitar tonight. There's something exhilarating about singing along to a song for me. It releases everything inside and I truly express myself. It's like riding a roller coaster! If I am ever sad, my guitar and singing will help.
Car is 100% packed for the market tomorrow, can't wait!

Yeah I'm sure a lot of you guys have lately been thinking this of me! I have actually been the opposite, VERY VERY BUSY. Which is my current excuse for not blogging, not sewing, and not being social in general.
I recently moved on from my job at a great little coffee shop at one of the Universities and took on another "full time" job which I thought was going to help me out in the $$ Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-1671706152991972392011-06-15T12:12:00.000+10:002011-06-15T12:12:55.457+10:003 Grey Elephants...

We all know I have 2 small and exceedingly gorgeous children. What you don't know is that when I sat down to think of ideas for what I would do for the Hottie Challenge is that I couldn't Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-7297639323651973902011-05-30T14:08:00.000+10:002011-05-30T14:08:22.981+10:00InspirationI am fairly sure that I have pretty much come to a decision as to what I will be doing for the hottie challenge.
I was talking to a customer at work the other day about how I watch more kids tv than soap operas and when I was musing such things I decided what I will be doing for my hottie!
I have a couple of days off work so I'm hoping to get it completed by the end of the week :)

It's taken me a while to pull my finger out on this one but at the beginning of the year I made one for Master 2yo to take with him to daycare so that they could put a whole days' worth of nappies in there to go home to be washed.
I have always designed my products on things that I cannot live without.

Basically, it creates funky looking word clouds for a piece of text that you input, isolating key words and such.
I decided to see what it would look like using the WeePantz Homepage text, see if Im getting the point across. Apparently Nappies is my most dominant word... this is a good thing!

Take a look at the gorgeous custom named nappy I made for my little man!
Its got gorgeous designer fabric from the front, beautiful dark charcoal minky through the body of the nappy, and a gorgeous embellished back panel.

I would much prefer to laze around watching tv, surf the net, cuddle my kids and drink hot drinks...
Miss 6yo is proactive enough to be doing her homework. I've done 2 loads of washing and I am sitting looking at fabric from across the room.
I'm also starting to read Martha Stewart's book called "The Martha Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-33095268018476464442011-05-10T20:39:00.001+10:002011-05-10T20:41:29.653+10:00A Few Sizes Smaller Means...A DESPERATE NEED FOR NEW CLOTHES!!
As I mentioned the other day, I have been on a diet since November. I didn't tell anyone about going on a diet, I just decided it was time to lose weight.
I have always been overweight. I had serious spinal surgery at the age of 12 so I wasn't really allowed to do sport as a teenager, and the love of chocolate, lollies and cake along with lack of exercise made Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-42565054308052007022011-05-08T15:27:00.000+10:002011-05-08T15:27:18.564+10:00Mothers DayToday, as I mentioned yesterday, I am being lazy and enjoying my beautiful kids.
I got to sleep in until midday!!
I never sleep in, and when I do I am usually up by 9, but I am so refreshed and grateful that I got a lovely rest. In fact I am still in my pyjamas.
I got presents as well which was nice.
So when I rose from my beauty sleep, I received 2 beautiful cards made by the Miss Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293355012346035470noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5306787882710269862.post-73237965386605686722011-05-07T14:24:00.001+10:002011-05-07T14:28:43.047+10:00This Weekend...This weekend is going to be a lazy one with Mothers Day being tomorrow, I intend to spend the day playing silly games with my babies and relaxing with them.
