Sharp New Shirts

New to the range of boys shirts are these uber cool Puffer Fish Tshirts.

Vintage style fish image in slate grey ink on the sky blue tshirt looks really awesome, subtle but eyecatching….(ok so that is a complete oxymoron but I hope you get what I mean?).

 

In t-shirts size 12-18m, 18m, 2 and 4. There are also a very limited number of tank tops available too. Found in FOR BOYS.

 

How adorable is my little model Cooper!?

And other things not on the list but I managed to get done….
More birthday badges
More birthday shirts
gifts for 3 friends babies

Slowly but surely getting there. And I am pretty used to dealing with the frustration of not getting all the things done that I had wanted to for the month…..so they will go in the In Progress baskets or just be put off for another day….or sometimes never!

And here is how I keep Esmae busy whilst I get a few jobs done.

She has been comando crawling for a week or so and is just starting to get up on her knees now.

And Sabre keeping herself busy by racing around the house on the scooter! It efinitely is not ideal to have her on the scooter inside but with the heat in the middle of the day and the current mosquito plague it is the only way she can use it.

Well ….things aren’t getting done blogging here………..so BACK TO IT!

All Grown Up

Eeek, my baby boy is nearly 3 years old, where has the time gone?

I think the last 3 years have really flown by, probably because I haven’t sat still much in all that time, but really they have gone super fast – ridiculous really.

We have started to plan the 3rd birthday party with gusto, it will be a loader, digger, dump truck affair as Ari is absolutely and totally in love with the yellow and black trucks, and at the ripe old age of nearly 3 will quite happily correct me if I should call a machine by the wrong name, including Bobcat, which he insists is a Catbob, and not the other way around.

Billy Mac Clothing

We received a lovely message from Christina of Billy Mac Clothing, to let us know that she had featured our fox shirt in her blog post on some MadeIt T-shirt favourites.  So thank you so much Christina for including us.

 

 

If you have never seen Billy Mac Clothing before, make sure you check them out, some seriously cool prints!

London Calling

I have had this sunny fabric calling me from my stack for ages. Been dying to cut into it! Finally I am pleased that I now turned it into some summery dresses and skirts! The Molly shirred dress and Summer shirred skirts were the perfect style for this liberty styled floral…I knew it the minute I saw the fabric online. Robert Kaufman plays omage to Liberty of London and when it got here it was even better in real life!

I am in love!

Someone has had enough of posing by this stage!

Babushka Clip Holders Back In Stock

It has been some months since Kobie has been able to finally build up the stocks of clip holders again, but at last she has managed it and included Nona in the range for this year.

These have always been a popular gift item since they were first released a year and a half ago and are perfect for display all those clips that are just too pretty to hide away in containers

Hopefully soon we will be able to replenish stocks of all our cool Babushka themed items in time for the silly season.

Funky New Shirts for the boys

Did you see our funky shirts for boys?

The shirts feature a range of quirky prints and are the creation of Gibbs n Keri, who for many years worked together creating animation and illustrations for some major television shows.

The shirts are all original artwork and the clothing is dyed and screen printed by hand in their studio.

You can now find these shirts in store here: http://www.ollierose.webcitypro.com/BOYS.html

Around my garden

With all the sickness in our house once again, it has made me want to get down in the vegie garden and put a bit of work into it, so we have more fresh vegies and herbs over summer.  Usually I let it die off in summer as with the hot winds, it takes a bit too much work to keep it looking as lovely.

We have an abundance of carrots and celery at the moment so I have been hunting out tasty vegetable juice recipes so I can try and get as many vegies into Ari as I can. I am not a huge juice person, so am finding it quite hard working out what combinations may be nice for him.

 

Our lemon tree is situated in the chook pens and we are always trying to give away lemons as we can’t keep up.

The herb pot took a real beating in the warm weather whilst we were away, but the mint is doing great.  Perfect in summer salads for extra zing.

The carrots don’t grow very big around here, mainly as the kids pull them out a bit too early!

The corn is going great guns again this year, so am hoping for a nice crop this year – love corn.

And lastly I have to share a picture of my rosemary bush.  I have had the same bush for about 10 years now, it has been transplanted at every house we have lived in. It was given to me as a small cutting by my very dear neighbour and friend in Toodyay, Mrs Bee.  It is absolutely huge now.  If only I was able to show her now.

Speaking of vegies, I had better hop off and start the vegie stirfry we are having for tea.
