Busy Busy Busy

Yep that is me- well probably should be doing more- don't we all think that way too?.

We get the keys to the house tomorrow and then the movers Arrive on Monday. Hubby leaves for America for a week on the Sunday so we have a few days to get everything sorted with the house. That was my plan for today, to get phones and internet looked at. Hard when it is a brand new house. But hey we will get there.

I have also been working on things for my little ones 4th birthday. She decided she wanted an Olivia birthday party- for those of you who don't know who Olivia is she is a pig that has heaps of funny sayings and rules of life. Her favourite colour is Red. Here is the invite I designed for the Party.


I have been looking up amazing party ideas. I hope she loves it all.


Anyway off to the new house and being able to sew properly and have things ready for sale soon.

What's New at Skip Chasey Headquarters.

So I have been working on new ranges and accessories. With my sewing machine and overlocker in a port in Brisbane being looked over by customs I really want to wait so that the clothing I sell will be up to my quality standards. So what am I selling in the meantime???

Headbands, Necklaces, clips, key fobs and more. I am currently waiting on my untreated wooden beads to arrive from the US so that I can work on my new range of teething necklaces that mums can wear and still look stylish.

Here are some photos of things that I have been making. Also check out my Facebook page for more.





So in other news- I am honored to be a part of a supportive, caring and inspiring group of wonderful Stay at Home Mums that Sew. We share our thoughts, designs, and finds and even have fun with challenges every month to suit a certain theme- this months was Easter- check out what we have all made at http://thesewingsisterhood.blogspot.com/

BACK IN OZ

Well it has been a long time between posts and we are living back in Australia. At this time we are living with my parents until we find a house and also our things to be cleared with customs.

I have already started selling in Australia and I think for a relaunch with out all of my things it has not gone too bad. I have so many new ideas and creations waiting to come out.

I am also on the journey to a better me and have started at Weight Watchers again and so far in 7 weeks I have lost 5.8kgs. Many more Kgs to lose but I will get there.


I really want this blog to be about everything not just my sewing/crafting but life and all its wonderful milestones and struggles. Stay tuned for more from me.

Oh and go check out my FaceBook page- this is where I sell what I make-http://www.facebook.com/SkipChasey

Getting ready to relaunch in Chile

Hi all,

Well a lot has been happening and I am looking at relaunching in Chile (date to be advised). So what does this mean? I have been fabric shopping. Lots of beautiful fabrics are heading my way, when I said lots I mean lots (somewhere around 25yards). I have written a plan of what I would like to sell and will start crafting soon. There will be some of what I have already made but a lot of new products too, including some designs for Christmas. At this stage all designs will be available only to the Chilean market as postage overseas is too costly. Keep watching for sneak peaks of fabrics and items to be announced for sale soon. I have even designed a new logo. Fingers crossed all goes well.

I am getting excited, hope you are too.
