Belle and Boo share the love


Hey everyone,


just a quick share for today, i absolutley love the London based belle and boo range of illustrations by the talented Mandy Sutcliffe. I have prints in Lily's room which just look gorgeous. While browsing her blog i came across a project she did called Feed Your Soul where artists share their artwork with a free download. I just thought i would post the link so you can all have a belle and boo in your room too!
Happy Tuesday!

Some New One Offs




Well for those who sign up to the newsletter i have finally put a couple of things up.. thanks for checking back and sorry for being so slow! I have had some really tough personal things going on (and no it wasn't turning 30 lol) but things are looking up so hopefully i am back!! I feel like i have been out of action for so long in mind and spirit...i think i have my spark back so here's hoping i sew like a mad women over the next few weeks and i get lots more things up!!

I have found another gorgeous brand but it is a little on the expensive side so still deciding whether or not to stock.
Right Bank Babies is getting rave reviews which is great... it is SO MUCH more beautiful in person, as you can attest if you are lucky enough to have a piece of couture.


My application for a November stall at Mathildas has been approved so i will be there again with LOADS of christmas goodies... fingers crossed and prayers that everything goes well i will be 38 weeks pregnant though with bub number 3!! Have had some early scares but things look to be positive so we are praying for the best.
So thanks for your patience and happy shopping!

Almost there...


Well it feels like i have been out of action for months.... it really has only been 2 weeks but it feels like forever!


With the big move, hubby spraining his ankle on the eve of the move, renovations and little suprises, not to mention 2 gorgeous little munchkins finding every wet paint wall with their little fingers and tears from all three of us as we starting a new kindy.. it has been a hectic 14 days to say the least! However i am slowely feeling like i can get my sewing corner together....i could not believe how much STUFF i had until i had to pack it up and move it.... i never knew i had so many bits of fabric and lace!


In the middle of all this we took little man and missy moo to the show on the one day it rained! Luckily the kids enjoyed it as i tell you what they saw us coming!!!! Bertie Beatle bags all the way thanks to the $10 tea cups ride for little man!!!! Carnie's are NOT on my list of fav people!! And fish and chips for 2 $27...i don't think we will be going next year, i will take the kids for a drive to the county to see cows!


Anyway just wanted to touch base and say i am working on my one offs...i have finished a couple and am going to photograph them and get them up early next week... some long sleeve vintage tops and pants..some cute smock tops..and am working on a cute jacket at the moment. Don't have access to my pics as my main computer is down but thought i would share this shot from
the family album as missy moo expresses how i have been feeling over the past 14 days!!!!! :)

RIGHT BANK BABIES


Two posts in 1 week!! There must be something special :)

Well YES..i am SO excited to introduce RIGHT BANK BABIES to the tippietoes followers. This brand is stunning! I had to really hold myself back from spending a small fortune!

These pieces are heirloom pieces and as a treat to you as i know times are tough and this is on the more expensive side, i have put the range on sale just because i want you to be able to own a piece at a reasonable price.

This is an American brand much loved with a great following and is only JUST been released here in Australia. I love the VINTAGE range and Cha Belle for Right Bank Babies. If you love it as much as me and the sales are good i will get in more pieces from the range that i know you will love.


These are the type of clothes you will put in a box for your future grandchildren... heirloom pieces with attention to detail! Made with 100% cotton and linen vintage inspired fabrics i am just so excited to bring this brand to you... let me know what you think!!!


There is one pair of boys pants, 1 pair of girls lace trim pants a shrug and pinafore... 'From size 2 - 5 years. ( this can change if the line is popular so if you would like a different size email me and i will see how we go :)


Hope you love it :)

Me.

The Princess and the Beer











Lily had her first birthday last weekend and despite me staying up until midnight sewing her a tutu for the big day it turned out to be whatever was in the cupboard at the last minute after it was clear the princess was not happy with the tutu... great! Lucky Auntie Meg had bought her a cute little crochet top to save the day.

Then it was into the dirt and iceblocks in her new baby bloch shoes...mmm again great! Then we swapped milk for beer and the mummy gave up!


Tippietoes is expecting some very cute stock in the coming weeks so stay tuned...there is also time to grab a bargain on our summer sale stock so hurry while stocks last!


I have been busy sewing for Mathildas Market on Sunday 22nd March.. will post some pics of the creations in the coming days...until then... back to the sewing machine!

She makes me laugh...




My daughter lily is my little model for tippietoes and i was trying to get her to pose for some new items i got in and some of my headbands but she had other things on her mind...like vegie sandwiches... she makes me laugh every day (as does my 2.5 year old with his singing!!) and it makes me thankful to have this little business where i get to see moments like these.... i hope they make you smile too :)
i know my little princess is hiding in there somewhere....maybe tomorrow :)
