Busy....

I have been chuffing away yesterday and today on this CUSTOM made to order -  all fabrics chosen by my fantastic customer - from Shabby Fabrics.  I am always so happy to hear from TH  - usually a bulk order and she picks devine fabrics,  a real pleasure to sew for.  Look forward to working with you again.

Thanks.

Stingbees ....IS HERE

Thats right I have got the page all ready and introducing it slowly,  here on my BLOG you are first to know!!!
STINGBEES    I will put up a Madeit Store in a few days time,  should be more fabrics this week and working on some little overalls as well.

I would love to get your feedback,  let me know exactly what you think,  if there is something missing or what you would like to see at STINGBEES.

 I could hardly sell boys clothing under "Butterflybees"   this page is totally for the boys.

What do you think of the name?    Maybe I have a little 'bee'  fetish..........I do remember playing with bee hives/boxes when I was little ,  well you can imagine how that ended, running crying up the hill to Mum after they bit me,  how dare they I was only playing 'cake shops'.    lol.

Anyway here is a sneak,  but to see more please drop by.

Winter Dresses for Tamlyn

Tamlyn would have to be my best customer,  she knows exactly what she wants, selects here fabrics either from my album or we order them in , mostly orders several or MORE at a time,  I do love to receive your orders Tamlyn and these Winter Dresses were no different,  your fabric choices were gorgeous.   Look forward to some "action photos' for the album.

And I am still working toward the BOYS clothing -  ohhhh hope to OPEN the store very soon.

Have a great weekend all.

Are you Seeing Me.........

Well I mean on Facebook silly.

{Keep me and others in your NEWSFEED - don't want to looose you!!!}

So, i've just created a list from all the pages I've liked since starting Facebook,   and now I can see their posts!

I encourage you to do the same, takes about 10 minutes.

Go to a post from one of the pages you follow, hover over the 'like' arrow and you will see the 'add to list' option.  This leads to a window in which you can highlight lots of other pages and then give the list a name and voila it is all done.

I am seeing so many pages on that list that I have missed.      Feels good...

Of course if you subscribe here to my blog you will also 'See Me'

Have great Sunday afternoon.

Denise

Customs flowing again....

Yeah  I have my CUSTOM orders flowing again, after a month of exciting things here.

Bec has a Scottish husband and wanted to dress her little one in a bit of 'scottish'   and so we have created this lovely little Bloomer Set  -  looking forward to hearing all about this when you see it Bec and love to see some action photos.

Meet Me In Paris

Tonight it starts at Muddy Ruffles - a little bit of Paris.  There are so many gorgeous things here, please pop over and take a look.

It has been so hectic in my household with "hen's party",  "daughter's wedding" , "son's 27th birthday"  I have so much catching up to do AND I want to get my boys range "Stingboys"  out there.   aarrrrrgh.

Please please let me know what boys items you are interested in  email  butterflybees@bigpond.com   I hope to have some for the opening real soon,  lots of other orders on the table atm.   Have ordered lots of boy fabrics...................ohhhhh I hope it is what you want.!!!

Please send link to your friends to join my blog,  with FB changes happening I would hate to lose contact.  You will always be able to get info here on the blog or email, no matter what facebook does.   Also subscribe to my newsletter - hoping to get that out tooooo when the boys range is ready.

Best wishes to you all,  your support is soooo appreciated.
Denise.









 

Wedding Bells

Our gorgeous daughter was married this last weekend,  we are all still on  cloud nine .....she was so beautiful and made us so proud.  Love you Tegan and David. xxx

In the Coming days.......

Showcase are all so popular at the moment ,  so need to be in it, and I love the chance to create with a theme (even though sometimes the time frame is a bit short!).  Nevertheless here are two that are coming up.

Saturday 12th May with Little Peach Handmade  there is the Pirates and Petals Showcase.

This is my entry:

Something for a 'Pirate' Boy.


And then on the 24th May over at Muddy Ruffles   'Meet Me in Paris'  Showcase for their 2nd Birthday Celebration.

My entry:

And while all this is going on I am trying to get my BOYS range moving -      I have come up with a name -    'Stingbees' .  It sounded  weird  the first time I said it.....but now there is no going back I have the cards printed and it has so grown on me.  It is final.  Hope before the end of the month to have enough made to show you.

Ohhh and did I mention my lovely daughter gets married on the 19th,   and this weekend is the 'Hens' party oooohhhhhhh,    so when will I be sewing!!!  Not sure,  but it is amazing what I can squeeze in.

Best wishes

Denise

Winter Dress

It is starting to get chilly here in Qld,  this  warm and cozy 'Winter Dress"  finished now and listed at Madeit

Winter Dress    Size 3

Listed at Madeit Store

Great start..

What a fantastic start to my day -  open my fb and feedback like this from Claire Partington

"I absolutely love the shorts that arrived in the mail today . Just the right amount of structure and snazzy pockets with faux flaps . They will be a perfect gift with some tone on tone tees . I like to include a book or music tape as well and these suit a beachy theme so well . Lovely , just lovely . I am going to have a look at your new boys fabric and order something new as i am so delighted with your creation . Cheers .


This gets me off to a great start for the day.


And very timely as I have been working on the boys clothing this weekend.  There will be a NEW fb page for the boys and a NEW name later in the month (I hope)   so at the moment I am working my way through these new fabrics teamed with denim and of course looking ahead I have ordered some others.  Please subscribe to my newsletter so that you will hear when it all opens.                                                               Newsletter link




Here is the link to my fb   fabric for boys collection:
