So many ideas, So little time!

I know.  Everyone wishes for more time in the day.  We know there are only 24 hours to use up, but why are we always wanting more.  Most would like at least 8 of those to be sleep anyway.  But if like me, its more like 'i'll take anything!'  No matter what you do in your life, if you have things to do, they never get completely done - unless, of course, you live in TV land!

My dilemma is being a full time mum, and running a home based 'hobby' business.  I love doing both and put as much as i can in to what needs to be done.  But do you (finally) get to bed and still think of what else you couldve done?  Me, I lie in bed and design more things for milly moo - and evilevie.  Then i think of what the kids will be wearing, then i think i can make them more clothes, then i have to go to get more material to make them, etc etc etc!  Then a kids wakes up, and i want to bang my head on the wall, until i get a lovely cuddle from them :)  Also, have you ever wanted to wake your child up and cuddle them, just because they look like an angel.  But know that you cant because they will never get back to sleep?!

Most people have a dream diary beside their bed, but ive gone one (weird) step further, and have put an ideas diary beside mine.  This is where i can get it out of my brain all of the ideas that pop into it, and onto paper.  Mostly so i can remember what it was when i do think of doing it.  This notebook is full of scribbles of patterns, pictures of how a garment should look like, what to call a new bow, and alot of other stuff that is illegible because it is written in the dark and with a sleepy hand!  I find it to be very handy when i get a creative block, or someone asks for 'something different'.  Do any of you have any crazy (sorry) simple ideas that helps you through your designing?

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.

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
