Welcome to my blog!!

My name is Beth and I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous girls. I began to crochet when I was expecting my eldest daughter and have never stopped. Crochet is my hobby and I love that others can benefit from it.

I love to create things that are Individual and Unique. Most items I make are one of a kind so you will never see anyone else with the same!

I use a mixture of patterns, modified patterns and ideas from my own head to provide a great selection of babies and childrens clothing, toys and accessories.

Time to yourself.

Hi All.

Well the kids have been back at school and kindy for over a week now and I am so glad to have some time to myself again. As much as I love spedning time with the girls and not having the mad rush to get out of the door in the mornings I do like peace and quiet which is definitely a rarity with my eldest daughter.

I have managed to get some things together to help setting up my business- I have business cards and labels on order and have some new organza bags for my crocheted toys- they look so much better than trying to wrap them in tissue paper. I have also been busy creating hats for the ladies to sell at Baby Vintage in Plimmerton. They will be at the Parent and Child show in Wellington this June and they want to take some bunnies so I best get busy making some for them. I also get to work at the shop while they are down there for the day telling everyone how great their store is. They will be taking some great products to sell and I hear they have a fab giveaway on the day too.

The colder weather is on it's way now so I am hoping my clothing will start heading out the door along with the toys. You can find them at Baby Vintage or online at my Little Kiwis Nest store. You will also find other wonderful handmade goodies there too.

Well i'm off now to finish a limbless bunny.

Bye for now.

Keeping Busy

Well we are over halfway through the school holidays and the weather has been great to us. I have managed to keep the girls happy and entertained as well as getting done the things I wanted to get done.

I recently enrolled on an accounting course with the intention of embarking on a Business degree later this year. I have managed to get through half the course and have now completed my first assessment ahead of schedule. It is now sat here ready to pop into the post box so fingers crossed I get good marks. I can chill out for a couple of weeks now before I start the second half of the course.

I have also been busy making more goodies for my Little Kiwi's Nest store. I am in love with the new teddy bear and will be making another two in a baby pink and a cream. He was very time consuming but sooooo worth the effort. He is so soft and cuddly and utterly adorable.

I'm thinking I might set to work on some cardigans/hoodies for the impending winter and am eyeing up some Merino blend yarn in my stash for the first one.

Today I have been working on designs for business cards and address labels and any other goodies I can find to plaster my logo onto and can't wait to get all my things together and start building on my branding.

Well I best get on- got dinner to start thinking about and an evening of TV lined up- a double episode of Private Practice so I will set myself up with some yarn and my hook later and settle in for the evening.

Bye for now, Beth x
