Bald Hills State School Fete

It's finished, it's over, no more fete for another two years .... i'm a little sad :( i loooove a good fete and ours was great ....

the p & c put in so much hard work to bring it all together ... they truely are awesome ...

a good friend of mine spent every waking minute of her day organising and then reorganising stalls, rosters and so much more ... she will be glad that the fete is over and that there is not another one for another two years :) ....

the weather held off until the fete was over and then a massive hail storm hit (really BIG hail stones) we had left by then .....

Master 7 was so tired and exhausted ... but very proud of himself for going on the teacup ride 25 times (my head would of seriously been spinning) ... he had a great day ...

The My Heart Flutters stall was a success :) ... it was great to see so many friendly faces and we received lots of lovely comments ...

i promise we will have boy singlets and unisex singlets in stock for our next market ....

speaking of our next market .... My Heart Flutters will be attending the following events in November ....

Saturday, 12th November
Rock a Buy Baby Markets
Strathpine Community Centre
8.30am - 12 noon

Friday, 18th November
Bounty Boulevard State School Twilight Markets
North Lakes

If you are out and about ... pop in and say HI.

i really do appreciate your support in my little crafty adventure.

unfortuantley, i didn't get a chance to take any photos of the stall from the fete yesterday .... but pop back in tomorrow as a certain Fairytale character will be making an appearance.

Take care

Welcome

welcome to the new look My Heart Flutters .....

i have merged one of my other blogs with My Heart Flutters to simplify my life a little. i have so much going on at the moment that i was finding it difficult to keep all my blogspots updated.

so what has been going on in my little world of late ....

1. emma turned ONE ... we held a beautiful afternoon tea party for her with lots of yummy food and pretty decorations.

2. brendan left two days after Emma's party for India for four weeks of work (only three more sleeps until he is home)

3. the children and i moved out and headed to Caloundra for a week whilst new tiles were laid in the downstairs area of our house. it was a mammoth task to get all the furniture out and then back in (thanks to my dad and brother for their help)

4. have been busily creating handmade goodies for the My Heart Flutters stall to be held at Mitchell's school fete on October 15.

5. attending numerous football breakups/presentations for mitchell

the past four weeks has been very challenging for me as i play the role of mum, dad, cleaner, taxi driver, worker and all the other numerous hats i have had to wear ... i take my hat off to all the single mums out there trying to make it work ... i have had moments where i wanted to curl up into the feotal position and cry, wanted to lock myself in the cupboard so the children could not find me .... but then i have had moments where i sit down and look around and think i am truly blessed ... i have a lovely home which i helped create with a man who truly loves me .. i have two beautiful children .... and i have a career i enjoy .... i am not perfect but who is .... i may raise my voice a little at my children but then provide them with lots of cuddles and kisses ...

with all said and done .... i cannot wait until tuesday when brendan arrives back into this country to be my partner in crime .... i have missed him ...

and because i haven't shared any pics of emma's tea party ..... here they are (thanks to Erin Honsa Photography for taking pictures from my girls special day)

a sneak peek ....

Hi all

Just popping in to share a little sneak peek of our new release ...... hoping to have this item available within the next few weeks .... i am so excited ...

enjoy bec xoxoxo

to market, to market

i finally did it ... i finally worked up enough courage and confidence in myself and my handmade goods to hold a stall at a my son's school market.




for the past few weeks i have been so very busy creating beautiful handmade items whilst children napped. i have never had a stall at a market before so i wasn't sure how much stock i would need or what people would be interested in buying.




so i decided to make a few of my favourite things and i ended up with:





* crochet beanies

* covered notebooks

* handsewn gift tags

* sweet little cakes

* rosy pony bands

* headbands

* hairclips

* ruby and friends dolls

* covered nappy wipe containers

* crayon rolls




so off i headed to set up my very first stall. i was very pleased with the outcome and had a great time .... so much so, that i think i will register for another market within the next few months ... stayed tuned for when and where ...





i will leave you with a few photos of the day




take care

Ruby and Friends

Meet Ruby ....
Ruby was created for my daughter Emma during my spare time on my holdiays..... It was decided that Ruby needed some friends ... so along came Polly, Isabella, Gabriella, Summer, Sienna and Dottie just to name a few.

Ruby and her friends are made out of high-quality fabric, felt and calico and have the most adorable little hand sewn faces. Each doll stands just on 30cm tall and are made with 100% true love.

If you are interested in purchasing a Ruby and Friends doll, please head to our Facebook page for more details.

My Heart Flutters meets Day to Day

I recently contacted the lovely Mel from Day to Day with regards to making her beautiful daughter Bella a hat. Mel and Bella graciously accepted my kind offer. I left the style and the colour up to them to choose and Bella decided that she would like the Scalloped Vintage Hat in grey with a pink flower.

Bella has since received her hat in the mail and Mel has written a lovely post about it on her blog ... http://melissagoodsell.typepad.com/

I wanted to express my thanks to Mel and Bella for letting me create some homemade goodness for them.

Please pop on over to Mel's blog and read her post.

Take care
