Have a great October

October is a big month this year, not only is Halloween on (WOOHOO), but everything turns pink for Breast Cancer Awareness, RUOK Day on the 8th, and of course the Commonwealth Games - GO AUSSIES!

So I will be alternating the Facebook page picture to a bright pink, and to a great drawing of our logo by foxtel, dehli yourself, and follow the games on facebook.

Have a great October

MillyMoo's Big Sister Store

Hi, its been so long since i have posted any news on this blog.  Been pretty busy with orders and family life and i have let the website and blog be near the bottom of my list.  All that aside, my oldest daughter and her friends (tweens) have told me that they love all the hair bows that i make, but they feel odd having to buy them from a little kids shop.  It got me thinking, and noticed that alot of stuff was being bought by 'grown ups' for themselves.
I have a love for all things retro, rockabilly and would secretly love to be a pin up girl, and decided that the hair accessories i make for myself and for the little rock chick i gave birth to, i would also make for you guys.

 Evil Evie Emporium has been born, and is the big sister of MillyMoo!

So if you are after Billy Bows, fabric hair wraps, funky jewelry - feathers, spots and skulls - they are all over at Evil Evie Emporium.  All the cute pink, butterflies and fairies will stay at MillyMoo.
I will add a tab and special page on the MillyMooAustralia.com website and in the store so you can purchase till yours hearts content!
Become a Facebook Fan until Evil Evie is available on MillyMoo, for previews and special prices.  http://tiny.cc/yk5ui

Have fun and take care..

Mid Year Already!!

The middle of the year - time certainly flys doesnt it!!  Its a great time of year with all the sales on, but if you are like me and hate pushing to find the right size in a very small stack of clothes available, online is the perfect place.  

Here in Adelaide its sooooo cold, i would prefer to stay in my jammies and have a hot cuppa as i browse the treasures online!  Obvious fav is ebay or oztion, but visit deals direct and OO when looking for cool gadgets for my kids.

Being Wednesday, there is a fantastic store on Facebook called LCB Toys and Decor (chatterbox Toys) that have a 'wicked wednesday big night in' sale around 7.30pm.  You have to be quick on the draw commenting on the photos of items available as they go REALLY fast.  I have on a couple of occasions been quick enough, and have purchased some wooden threaders in animal shapes.  They are great for the younger kids fine motor skills, and keep them busy and quiet in the car!!  BONUS!!!  My youngest son loves cooking and he received some wooden cooking utensils also from LCB for his birthday.  Pop on over to LCB Toys and Decor on Facebook to be in on the quick buying frenzy, and for some games also.  (nominees for 2 Mumpreneur awards!!)  http://tiny.cc/rmndy
   

Have fun ONLINE shopping!

TRAVEL PLAYMATS

Soft Felt Travel Playmats, with drill backing and grosgrain ties, that fold up small to fit into your bag, or for little hands to carry. Perfect to take along to grandmas or waiting for an appointment.
The Construction playmat has mudflats, sand dunes, water hole, rocky terrain and a carpark that doubles as a car storer! The Kitchen Playmat has 4 cooking rings with buttons, and a sink with taps, great for the little cook in your family. Coming soon - Treasure Island and City Roads

My 2 youngest boys (riley & flynn) kept nicking the construction playmat while i was putting it together. Riley told me that he just had to because he was itching to play with it! They played for a couple of hours with it, and when i was finished the Kitchen playmat, they helped me cook dinner. Only this time they were at the table pretending while i got some peace in the kitchen, without having to worry about them getting too close to the real stovetop!Publish Post

Online now at http://millymooaustralia.com/store!

I decided to make bow sets for girls that want to look the same but be a little different to each other, have the same bow but know which one is 'theirs'. So now available are 'Kindred Bows'. So called because your little girl can match her sister, cousin or her bestest friend. A simple reminder that they are together forever.

St Patricks Day Bows

Ahhhhhh Tis the wonderful month of March again. Cooler weather, rain (if we are lucky) and

ST PATRICKS DAY!!! I love being irish and my poor kids have to suffer through the day decked out in green. Shamrocks everywhere and the compulsory Leprechan hat. Dont get me wrong - come Australia Day , they wear the green and gold with pride and aussie flag tattoos all over them! My girls are going to be wearing bows (of course) this paddys day, and there are some available to purchase in the store.

"Happy St. Patrick's Day!"

TEA PARTY SETS

Does your little one like to pretend play? Mine do, so i decided to make some fun for my 3 youngest (2boys and 1 girl). I came up with a tea party theme, with cupcakes galore, napkins, spoons, cookies, tea bags (aptly named 'heartwarming tea') and sugar cubes. It was a big hit - the boys even wore the pearl bracelets! But they did say they were super hero protective bands - i know! I've grouped items together in sets to purchase or seperate so you can choose what you want. Its a great 'dainty' afternoon with tea and cupcakes, just you and your little one - or maybe get daddy in on the act :D

AMAZING ALLAN IS HERE TO PLAY

This is AMAZING ALLAN! Defender of all kids, destroyer of all monsters that live under beds and in cupboards, and he is not 'ascared' of the dark!
Amazing Allan wants to be your friend, so you can be strong and brave together.

Amazing Allan is made of quality materials, and stands approx 12" (barbie size). His super hero outfit is made to look like he did it himself, just like a little kid would make their own.

Lin Lin Soft Toy

This is LIN LIN (which means in Chinese 'beauty of a tinkling bell'), she is the first in line of a new doll range coming soon to millymoo.
Lin Lin is made of quality fabrics, including cotton and felt, with ribbons and floral buttons in her hair. She stands approx size of barbie doll - 12", and has a tinkling bell inside her head.
She can be used as a bow holder too - clips can be attached to her dress ribbons. This doll comes with matching clips for your little ones hair - just like Lin Lin wears.

My kids are liking Lin Lin. My girls want her to themselves (1yr old likes hitting it off things to make the bell ring) my boys like cuddling her. Im liking having her around too. She has found a place on my desk and sits there smiling away at me, in turn making me smile.

Since Lin Lin is a 'girls' doll, i decided that the boys should have one too. I asked what they would like in a cuddle toy and their replies were, pirate, dinosaur, robot and CHEESE!

Earrings on my lazy day

Hi guys! I had a lazy day day today (for me meaning that steven ran around after the kids while i vegged) But i did get some making time in between reading, sleeping etc :) Soooo, today i decided to make some earrings from some really cool buttons i bought a couple of weeks ago. my intention for them were to go in the center of bows, but i went in totally different direction - suppose they still go in the general head area :) So far there are 3 styles available - black cat, pink skulls and white swallows. I also made some more button hair ties from fleece materials. They are available online now at millymooaustralia.com. I will make up some more when i snap out of this vegetative state. ahhhhhhh, who wants a hot chocolate?

New Items In Store

I have been creative this week (wonders will never cease!) and added new items to our online store -

1. Rockabilly large fabric hair bows. This is where the tweens come in. Made with cotton fabrics in vintage, retro and very cool prints, all put on a bendy snap clip. For sizes, there are some pics of Natalie wearing one in the photo section.

2. YoYo Hair clips - LETS GO RETRO! Cotton fabrics are used with vintage/retro prints and topped with a matching button. all on a bendy snap clip, photos online too.

3. Fabric Button Hair sets - fabric covered buttons attached to elastic and hair clips. One hair tie and one clip in each set. Skulls and pretty prints to choose from.
