Colour much?!
Today my kids kept their part of the deal for the worlds greatest shave....they dyed their hair! I'm so proud of them! The picked their own colors and styles....Rhett went with all green, Dek chose red one side and blue the other. Tanner picked blue and red too but had blue at the bottom and Red on the top. Mav went with red and green - green strip down the middle and red either side and Channing of course had to have pink!

Exhausted!
And I didnt really even do much today! Yesterday tho.....and sat/sun/monday were big big days......another wholesale order is done.....held up by running out of elastic?! How silly of me to not notice!! But it was done in time...Just! And I had to remake 2 nappies as I noticed when I was topstitching that there were small faults in the embroidery! I wouldve had around 20 embroideries stuff up from this one order....Very frustrating!
But its done now so all is good!.
Today I got to play with my new hypercolour fabric that Ive had sitting here for a few weeks.....made a couple of cute fitteds.....LOVE hypercolour fabric! Takes me back to being a kid and my and my sister putting our hypercolour tshirts in the freezer to make them cold and then put them on and watch them change colour ♥
And I got to share the other new product available at Envious....the Ellie bag! A gorgeous little carry all for any princess.... Will be available in nappy/dress/bag sets as well as individually and dress and bag sets for the toilet trained girlies!!
I have also just auctioned off a nappy to help raise money to go towards a family holiday full of memories for a special MPS III-A (also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome) Family....Go here to read more about it.
And I have donated this nappy to The Shavey Bunch Auction...the other group I am shaving my head for to raise money for a Mama of 2 undergoing chemo
We are also going great guns with our Worlds Greatest Shave fundraising.....we have cracked the half way mark with less than 3 days to go!
Have a look!
I also got to babysit my gorgeous lil nephew Rome today ♥ Such a darling!! Of course I just had to take some pics of him in his new Envi♥us Fluff!

Is going to SHAVE....
my HEAD! Completely bald!!
I am taking part in the Worlds Greatest Shave - my whole family is actually, My husband and children are dying their hair.
I am also helping to raise money for a Mama of 2 wee ones who is undergoing chemo, through The Shavey Bunch on Facebook, I will add a link to the page and to anyone who would like to donate you can do so by sending payments to theshaveybunch@gmail.com http://www.facebook.com/theshaveybunch
The link to my WGS page is www.my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/LivShalless
Donations can be made on my personal page or my families team page www.my.leukaemiafoundation.org.au/TheShallessFamily
I am so excited to do this, and hope we can raise lots of money.....I would love to reach our target of $1000 so if you can please donate and sponsor me/us......payments can be made via paypal or credit card (WGS) and you will be emailed a receipt as donations over $5 are tax deductable....or if you are local to me - MT Gambier - you can pay in cash and I can give you a receipt.
A lot of people say say Oh you are so brave, I would never have the guts to shave all my hair off......but I dont think Im brave....Ive always had the outlook -its only hair, it will grow back. And it will! Im lucky - Im healthy, Im not having poisons pumped through my body, making my hair fall out and stopping it from growing back. I dont have anyone close to me suffering from cancer, I know people who have it but not close iygwim? But lately it just seems like cancer is everywhere and it is so heartbreaking....Ive read a few blogs of cancer suffers.....Christian Anderson, who sadly lost his battle with cancer earlier this year, and I follow Lil Blue Boo - this lady is amazing! She is also undergoing chemo but her whole outlook on life is just inspiring - Choose Joy...that is her motto.......
And then there are the children suffering....it just breaks my heart and brings me to tears just thinking about it.....so if me shaving my head can raise money to make even 1 persons life a little bit better then how can I not?!
So please, take a moment to think about these people that are suffering and dig deep....and help me help them ♥

Hmm
Yep worst blogger award goes to me! I keep meaning to come on and update but I just get side tracked....at least that means Im busy, right?.....
Well busy I am at the moment! I have stopped doing customs via a list. I made this decision just before Christmas. It just wasnt working for me and I was feeling stressed. Now If/when I have time I can list a custom spot or 2 but I dont have a huge list breathing down my neck! Phew!
I have a big wholesale order on the go, make sure you check out www.miabearsmcns.com towards the end of next month. Lots of fluffy goodness headed their way :D
I have also finished and release the newborn range that have been under development for a while now. A gorgeous little sidesnap .
This is one of my favourites......Winnie the Pooh embroidered on the front with one of his quotes "Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." They are just the cutest and make me soo clucky! haha.
I am also licensed to make a new product, I wont say what yet but it is very cute and ISNT nappy related :D Im hoping to get some made up over the next few weeks.
And I have a new fabric on its way to me, it is pretty cool and I cant wait to experiment with it!! But I cant say anymore =P
The other thing keeping me busy (besides the kids, hubby, housework and nappy making!!) is digitizing! I have been teaching myself and have had some pretty good results so far! Im loving finding different images for "Envious Exclusive" designs :D Hopefully they will be gracing the bum of some nappies soon!
Well I better get back to it....these booster are going to serge themselves...unfortunately! Even if it is already 1am....

I did say I was a bad blogger didnt I?....
Well Im REALLY bad!
Too much stuff going on and not enough time!
Hundreds of nappies have been made and sent off to various parts of Oz since I blogged last! - Another 2 wholesale orders + customs + plus stock!
Lots has been happening. We welcomed a new member to the Envi♥us team.....my new baby.....Isnt she beautiful! Works like a charm and has saved me countless hours of changing threads!
On a personal note, I chopped all my hair off.....like literally! It is now only about 2 inches long all over :O Took a bit of getting used to but it is so much easier to manage!
Christmas is fast approaching, like less than 1 month!! And no I havent even begun my Christmas shopping, slack I know! We still have one more birthday to get through first. Mr T is turning 7!! this Tuesday, Oh how time flies! Earlier this month little Miss C had her 3rd birthday, and a few weeks before that Mr M had his 5th birthday and started school!! Who told these kids they could grow up??!!
I am not a religious person but I spent this weekend creating "the story of Christmas" nappy. I was one of those flashbulb moments when the idea just came to me and I could picture it exactly how I wanted it too look.....the hard part was finding the embroidery designs that would look right! But I did, and this is the end result....
Im pretty pleased with how it worked out! And the coolest part - the cotton star fabric GLOWS IN THE DARK!! How cool is that!
I had a market on last weekend. The market it self was pretty slow but business was good for me. Sales have been improving each time which is great. I had made up sooo much stock, which meant I had to photograph, edit and upload to my website - which is more exhausting and brain numbing than you probably realise! But it was worth it as 90% of the stock sold the same night. Was hoping to keep at least a few nappies in stock, just so my website isnt bare when newcomers go to have a browse.
I have also been working on a newborn range to fit from 2.5kg-5kg For the little wee ones that can fit straight into a one size nappy.
Im sure there is lots more but as it is now after 2 am and I am starving hungry Id best go feed myself before falling into bed!
Til next time
♥
p.s I will blog more often.... I will honest!!...Well I will try anyways! LOL

Bit neglected!
Oops! Ok, so Im not the worlds best blogger!
I have been busy tho! 2 large wholesale orders + customs + stock + 5 kids on holidays = CHAOS!! There are nappies everywhere in my workroom! Working on a few "new" ideas....want a peak?? Hmm we'll see :P
I have also been learning to crochet! You tube is a wonderful teacher! And I have to mention my favourite blog Little Birdie Secrets for their gorgeous flower and heart crochet pattern & tutorial. I have also bought a few more patterns from them but havent yet attempted anything more complex than a headband! Hehe! These were the first ones I made, the first flower had an extra petal LOL .....really must remember to count! The headband I later used as an embellishment on a pair of trakkies I made for my daughter!
Must keep blogging....blogging.....blogging.....
