Good Morning!
I have still been very busy with setting up Koko&Gracie - though im hopefull it will all be done soon!
Bear with me as i play around with my blog page a little - not being very technical when it comes to computers - some things may look a little strange!
Today - even though i really need to be sewing and making - Monet and i will be enjoying the sunshine - also doing a mound of housework - that which has been left due to the constant rain over the past 2 weeks! Yes - lots of washing! Oh Joy!....... :)

Tick Tock!
Time.
Where does it go?
Currently trying to make more of it available to me - time to make, time for family, time for work.
Things are moving along nicely - albeit too slow, for the official opening of Koko&Gracie - i am hoping by the end of the month! Still waiting for my AbN - when it comes maybe i will feel more used to the idea of having my own business to run!
Current projects - that special one i mentioned a while back - as i still havent recieved my supplies and am waiting - i cant unveil! Im also working on some beautiful quilts and am hoping for a bulk order of beautiful warm and white wadding, and material! I cant wait to make some new blankets - all will be listed in Big Cartel.........soon!

Dont let it get you down!
Its been a hard time lately - illness etc. So i havent got as much achieved as i wanted.
I do however have a secret little project im working on - involving lace, jewels and all sorts of goodies! I cant wait to unveil yes - the hair pulling wait for supplies to arrive!)
I will endeavour to be much more consistant though - with my posting and my creating - so bear with me while everything is still slowly being set up - even though ive been at it since last year - its really can be quite difficult when you work full time - i often think at work - 'i dont have time to be here today - ive got things to make, things to type, things to photograph!)
So - hopefully its all working now (having issues posting pics before!) and you can start to get an idea of my range of products ive made - and ones to come!

JULY!
Aaaaaaargh - where has time gone?!
Big news - (well - maybe not so exciting!) im forging forward with plans for Koko&Gracie - where and how to sell.
Now - most people probably wouldnt blog about it but i will a little- but i figure if someone (or more than 1 someone!) is ever stuck in the same boat - my info can be a bit of a springboard to get them started!
Not being very knowledgeable about small business - i have had to do a lot of research online - and in my own time - between working in my full time day job - and the unpaid home job (you now - washing, cleaning cooking - caring for a big and a small kid, all that stuff!.)
One thing i can recommend - get a business mentor. They can impart knowledge, pass on some experience - be a sounding board for ideas - or just a shoulder to cry on when things just dont go according to plan!
Ive found starting with reading info on business.gov.au has been helpfull.
On to Making.
Since we can now officially say our hairclips are ready for sale - i did some Quality Assurance testing on friday night - watching football on the lounge i must have undone and done up - snapped back and forward and generally beat around hairclips - HUNDREDS of times! and they were still just as good at the end as when i started, so that was very satisfing to find out!
Soooo many people have commented on the pendants too so i have attatched a quick pic to see!
Note - you can see all recent photos of products in the Flickr thumbnails - located at the bottom (till i move it!) of the blog page.
I have been having a small break from Making - as i have yet again been sick - but this weekend am going to be making our new range of bibs.
They have a towelling backing, calico front with either an applique or a patchwork row. I will be making 2 sizes - small and large but am starting off with the smalls. These are great for absorbing drool, milk, spitting up (you or bubs!) and generally wash very well. They will have a tie closure to start but will end up being snap closed or velcro.
